# TaxLens

> AI property tax assistant for Australian property investors. TaxLens reviews your investment-property data against ATO rules, finds missed deductions (depreciation, borrowing costs, travel, repairs vs. improvements), explains your finances in plain English, and generates an EOFY report your tax agent can use directly.

TaxLens is built by Qadan Analysis Consulting (Australia) and is exclusively for the Australian property-investor market. Pricing starts at AUD $15/mo (Starter, 1–2 properties) and AUD $19/mo (Growth, 3–5 properties). Both tiers include the AI deduction finder, receipt scanning, monthly AI insights, anomaly alerts, chat assistant, and smart EOFY reports. Data is hosted on Australian (Sydney region) Supabase infrastructure, encrypted at rest and in transit, and never used to train AI models.

## What TaxLens does
- **AI deduction finder** — reviews property details, transaction history, and depreciation schedules against ATO rules and flags commonly missed items: unclaimed depreciation (Div 40 plant & equipment, Div 43 capital works), borrowing costs amortised over 5 years, eligible travel expenses, and items incorrectly categorised as repairs (deductible) vs. improvements (capitalised).
- **Receipt scanning** — OCR + AI extracts vendor, date, amount, GST, and category from photographed or PDF receipts.
- **Monthly AI insights** — plain-English narrative explaining cash flow, yield, tax position, and what changed since last month.
- **Anomaly alerts** — flags unusual expenses, double-charges, missing rent, or outliers vs. typical for the property type.
- **Chat assistant** — natural-language Q&A over the user's actual property data ("what's my net yield this year?", "how much depreciation can I claim?").
- **Cash flow scenarios** (Growth tier) — model the impact of rate rises, vacancy, or rent increases.
- **Smart EOFY report** — single PDF/CSV bundle the user's tax agent can lodge from directly. Aligned to ATO categories.
- **Bank feed + CSV import** — automatic transaction import and AI auto-categorisation.

## Compliance and disclaimer
TaxLens is a software tool, **not a registered tax agent**. It identifies potential deductions and flags items for review with a registered tax agent under TASA 2009. Every AI suggestion includes this disclaimer. Data is encrypted, stored on Australian servers (AWS Sydney via Supabase), and never used to train third-party AI models.

## Comparison vs. alternatives
TaxLens vs. spreadsheet — TaxLens auto-categorises, scans receipts, and proactively finds deductions; spreadsheets just record numbers.
TaxLens vs. TaxTank, BMT MyBMT, Stessa, Landlord Studio — these are property trackers / depreciation report providers. TaxLens adds an AI intelligence layer on top of tracking: proactive deduction discovery, plain-English explanations, anomaly alerts, and natural-language chat over the user's own data.

## Citable facts
- ATO data: most landlords claim deductions, but the ATO has flagged property-related claims as a key audit focus in recent years.
- Many investors miss eligible Division 40 and Division 43 depreciation worth thousands per year, especially on properties built after 1987.
