Our upgraded Digital Home Office Diary is designed to make your life easier while ensuring you get the maximum deductions you deserve.

5. Stay audit-ready with ease

The ATO is more focused on work from home deductions than ever, which means accurate record-keeping is crucial. TaxTank’s digital Home Office Diary ensure your logs are always ready for an audit. With live bank feeds syncing directly to your diary, every expense is automatically recorded and linked to your home office usage – guaranteeing accuracy down to the last cent.

Included with TaxTank products

We believe in making tax time easier for everyone. That’s why TaxTank’s digital Home Office Diary is included in both our Work Tank and Sole Tank products. Whether you’re a freelancer, small business owner, or just working from home, this feature is designed to save you time and money.

Why you need the digital Home Office Diary

The ATO has recently tightened the rules on claiming home office deductions. Here’s a quick look at what’s changed:

  • Detailed hour-by-hour records: The ATO now requires specific documentation for each day you work from home.
  • Full expense documentation: If you’re claiming the fixed rate (67 cents per hour), you’ll need detailed records of expenses like electricity, internet, and phone bills – no receipts, no deduction.
  • Increased scrutiny: With the ATO’s new compliance checks, only fully documented claims will be allowed.

TaxTank’s Home Office Diary is designed to help you meet these new requirements effortlessly. Our automated system takes the stress out of tracking and reporting, ensuring you’re fully compliant and maximising your deductions without the hassle.
