Homepedia Tax Assistant Estimate
ACa.chen Sign out
Software engineer on $145k. I've also got a Sydney investment property rented at $500 a week, and I sold some ETFs this year. Can you estimate my return?
Logged salary $145,000 (PAYG $37,888 withheld). The property's a rental and the ETF sale is a CGT event.
To finish the estimate: your rental expenses, how long you held the ETFs, and whether you have private hospital cover?
ITAA97 s6-5 CGT event A1 · s104-10
$34k interest plus about $8k rates, insurance and management, and $6k depreciation. Held the ETFs just over 3 years — $12k gain. And yes, I have hospital cover.
Your rental runs a $22,000 loss — it negatively gears against your salary. The ETF gain gets the 50% CGT discount, so only $6,000 is assessable, and hospital cover means no MLS. Estimated refund: $6,088 — full breakdown on the right.

Why we built it

Tax advice
burns hours
before it earns.

For an accounting firm, the front of every client relationship is expensive: an initial chat, collecting documents, a rough estimate, a quote — one to two hours per enquiry, much of which never converts to a paying client.

The Tax Assistant standardises that stretch: the conversation happens without you, and what reaches your desk is consistent, traceable and ready to verify.

01
Sunk consultation cost
Pre-lodgement chats, document chasing and rough estimates eat 1–2 hours per enquiry — a large share of which never becomes a paying return.
02
Inconsistent answers
Numbers that rest on memory rather than a record erode client trust — and create real practice-compliance risk.
03
Repeating yourself
Clients re-explain the same facts to a chatbot, then a junior, then the agent. Nothing is structured, so nothing carries forward.
04
Numbers you can't audit
When a figure is questioned, the working is buried in a thread. Here every line traces to the rule and the input that produced it.
How it works

Three steps.
One conversation.

No forms to fill, no fields to hunt for. You describe your year the way you'd say it out loud.

01
Describe your situation
Salary, rental, shares, crypto, side income — in plain language. Nothing is asked twice, and nothing you've said is forgotten.
02
Every figure carries its rule
Your position is worked out against current ATO rules, and each line shows the rule it came from — so it can be checked, not just trusted.
03
A registered agent lodges
You see the estimate before anything is committed. A registered tax agent reviews the full record and lodges your return — no starting over.
What you can ask about

Covering
what matters most.

From simple deductions to cross-border share schemes — the assistant knows Australian tax, and every layer of complexity is set out as it is added.

Income tax & deductions
Work expenses, working-from-home, tools, travel, uniforms and self-education.
Rental property
Rental income, deductible expenses, depreciation and negative gearing.
Capital gains
Shares, ETFs, property and crypto — including the 50% CGT discount.
ESS & RSUs
Employee share schemes, vesting events and cross-border share income.
Cryptocurrency
Bitcoin, Ethereum, CGT events, DeFi and the record-keeping the ATO expects.
Side gig & sole trader
ABN, freelance income, business expenses and GST registration thresholds.
Company and trust setup
What has to happen in what order, which steps only you can do (Director ID and myID cannot be done by an agent), and where we take over.
Ask in your own language
English, 中文, 日本語, 한국어, Tiếng Việt, Español and Français — and the follow-up from the practice comes back in the same one.
Plain tax questions
Answers come from a curated Australian tax knowledge base, with the relevant material pulled in per question, rather than from the model general memory.

These are the highlights. The engine also handles Medicare thresholds, study and training loans (HELP), foreign income, tax offsets and residency rules — every layer traced as it's added.

Sydney NSW

Less about you, by design

No TFN, no date of birth, no documents through the chat. Anything sensitive goes through the practice, not through a chat window.

A person, when it matters

Higher-risk questions go to a registered tax agent — decided by rule, not left to the model to judge.

A starting point, not the last word

The figure is preliminary and based on what you have described — a starting point for a conversation with a registered tax agent, not a lodged return and not formal advice.

FAQ

Common questions.

Is the estimate written by the AI?
No. The AI handles the conversation and structures your facts, but your tax estimate is calculated against current ATO rules. The same inputs always produce the same numbers — and every line traces to the rule behind it.
Who actually lodges my return?
A registered tax agent (TPB #26336583). The assistant prepares a complete, checked record; a qualified human reviews every figure and lodges it. The assistant never lodges on its own.
How accurate is the refund figure?
It uses real 2026–27 resident tax rates, the Medicare levy, the Medicare levy surcharge thresholds and the 50% CGT discount. It's an estimate based on what you tell us — the agent confirms it against your documents before lodging.
Do I need to sign up to try it?
No. You can describe your situation and get an instant estimate without an account. You only provide details when you decide to proceed with a registered agent.
