Australian individual return · use at your own risk

Before you use Tax Ledger

This free tool is general information and a calculation aid for an Australian individual tax return. It does not cover company, trust or partnership returns, or a return in any other country. It is not tax, financial or legal advice, and it does not replace advice from a registered tax agent.

  • Tax rules, rates and return labels change. This tool may be incomplete, incorrect, outdated or unsuitable for your circumstances.
  • You are responsible for checking your inputs, calculations and return against current ATO guidance or with a registered tax agent before lodging or amending.
  • You are responsible for saving and backing up your ledger file. Browser autosave is crash recovery only; it is not a backup.
  • This browser keeps a copy of your ledger so a crash does not lose it, and files you save go to this computer's Downloads folder. On a computer other people use, both outlast your visit — tick the box below, and clear the browser before you leave.

The tool is provided “as is”. To the maximum extent permitted by law, its authors and maintainers exclude warranties and liability for loss arising from its use or from reliance on its output. Nothing in this acknowledgement excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Not yours? Do not open it

A ledger was left in this browser

Work autosaved earlier is still here, against , and it was never saved to a file. This tab has not opened it.

If you are the person who left it, restore it. If this computer is shared and the work is not yours, discard it — nothing of it is shown until you choose.

Tax Ledger no file loaded

The file you save is the record. Autosave in this browser is crash recovery only — it is not a backup, is not in iCloud, and is lost if you clear site data. On a computer other people use, that last one is the point rather than the drawback: tick shared or public computer at the first screen, and press Clear this browser on the Data tab before you leave. Files you saved stay in that machine's Downloads folder either way. Rates current to August 2026. General research only; not personal tax, financial or legal advice. Verify anything you act on against ato.gov.au or with a registered tax agent.
