Can ExpenseBot help with my Australian sole trader tax return?
Yes. Open Year-End Tax Workbook and create the report for the Australian income year. ExpenseBot adds a Beta ATO myTax Worksheet to the Google Sheet you own. It brings together tracked income, deductions and GST, shows the official P8 destinations, and marks the decisions that still need you or your registered tax agent.
What it does
- Scans Gmail (up to six years) for receipts and tax invoices — no forwarding rules to set up. Extracts vendor, date, amount and GST.
- Photos and forwarding capture the paper receipts (parking, hardware store, café) too.
- Builds the Tax Form Summary from your tracked deduction categories.
- Prepares the myTax handoff with official P8 destinations and reconciliation checks. ExpenseBot does not guess where an ambiguous tracked group belongs; those amounts stay clearly marked for review.
- Separates GST where the receipt shows it, with totals to review before a BAS or return.
- Tracks income from Stripe, PayPal, invoices and cash, so the same Sheet shows net business income.
Key dates
The Australian financial year runs 1 July to 30 June. Most sole traders lodge their individual return by 31 October, or later through a registered tax agent.
What it is not
- Not an ATO lodgement or myTax integration — it prepares records, it does not file.
- Not an automatically filled ATO return. Australian users get a reviewed filing worksheet; government PDF auto-fill remains US/Canada only.
- All tax figures are estimates — confirm with your registered tax agent or the ATO.
The filing worksheet is Beta. If a figure or ATO label looks wrong, stop and email support@expensebot.ai so we can check it with you.
