There’s the personal you.
There’s you as a sole trader.
There’s you with properties, but in a trust, SMSF or company.
And sometimes there’s you, jointly, with someone else entirely.

Everyone understands this in theory. Banks do. Tax law definitely does. Open banking, however, has historically been far more limited, typically working off a single profile at a time.

Which usually leaves users doing small but annoying things to make it all work reconnecting bank feeds, keeping mental notes about which login is which, or explaining (again) why the same person has multiple accounts.

It works. Mostly. But it’s not exactly elegant.

Where things got messy

Open banking doesn’t see “one person”. It sees profiles.

A personal login here.
A business login there.
A separate one again for trusts or companies.

Until now, that meant those profiles had to be managed separately, even though, in real life, it’s all one financial picture.

That disconnect was never ideal, and it didn’t reflect how people actually operate.

The fix: Multiple IDs

We’ve released Multiple IDs to solve exactly that problem.

You can now connect more than one bank profile to a single TaxTank account, cleanly and intentionally, without breaking existing feeds or starting again.

From the dashboard, just select the three dots on a bank tile and choose “Connect another profile”, then follow the prompts as usual.

Each profile:

• connects independently
• has its own open banking consent
• can be managed without affecting the others

Which means fewer workarounds, and far less mental bookkeeping.

Why this matters

This isn’t just about convenience (although it definitely helps).

It means your TaxTank account can finally reflect how your financial life actually works. Personal, business and entity accounts can sit side by side, with clean allocations, clearer reporting, and far fewer “why is this here?” moments.

Budgeting becomes easier. Tax reporting makes more sense. And everything stays connected without being tangled.

Built for real people, not perfect examples

Most people don’t fit neatly into one box, and neither should their software.

Multiple IDs lets your TaxTank account adapt as your situation changes, without extra admin or duplicated setups. It’s a small change that removes a lot of friction.

Which is exactly how good features should work.

If your finances don’t fit neatly into one box, your software shouldn’t either. Get started with to TaxTank and connect another profile today.

Why personal tax needed a platform built for individuals

Tax software has long been built for accountants and businesses, while individuals were left with few tools beyond spreadsheets, manual record-keeping, once-a-year lodgement or trying to make it fit with business tax tools. Personal tax was treated as an afterthought.

TaxTank flipped that model on its head. We created Australia’s first personal tax platform built purely for individuals. Our mission is to make tax transparent, accurate, and stress-free all year round, not just at tax time.

Start your free trial today and see why TaxTank is the personal tax platform that changes the way you do tax for good.

Whether you’re a sole trader, employee, investor or just trying to get your tax return sorted without losing your mind, this guide will help you choose the right tax app for your needs.

Let’s break it down.

1. Business Accounting Software

If you’ve been Googling “best tax app Australia,” chances are you’ve come across Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB.

These are powerful tools, but they’re built for businesses, not individuals. They’re designed to meet the needs of companies with employees, payroll, and complex reporting requirements.

If you’re a sole trader managing one or multiple hustles, or a property investor wanting more control and real-time insights, these platforms might be overkill. Many of the features are adapted for individual use rather than built for it, which means you’ll be paying for tools that don’t quite work for your needs. And once the introductory pricing ends, the costs can escalate quickly.

Pricing:

• Xero: From $35/month
  
• QuickBooks: From $29/month
  
• MYOB: From $34/month
  

Best for: Businesses with payroll, employees, and complex financial reporting.

May not suit: Sole traders / side hustlers, property investors, or individuals looking for a simpler, more cost effective and tailored solution.

2. Tax Apps for Sole Traders

Tax apps like Hnry and Thriday were created to make tax easier for sole traders. You open one of their bank accounts, have your income paid in, and they automatically set aside money for tax and super. Some even lodge your BAS on your behalf.

It’s simple and relatively hands-off, but it also comes with limitations.

These tax apps work best when all your income and expenses are managed within their system. If you have other sources like property, investments, or side gigs, you’ll often need to manually add entries, and they might not integrate fully.

Plus, features like vehicle logs, home office tracking, and depreciation tools are typically absent or require extra apps. So if your setup is even a little more complex, you could quickly outgrow them.

Additionally, many services like Hnry assign you a specific in-house accountant rather than letting you choose your own, which limits your flexibility if you’d prefer to work with someone you already trust.

Pricing:

• Hnry: 1% of income (capped at $1,500/year)
  
• Thriday: From $29.95/month + lodgement fees
  

Best for: New sole traders with simple income and no need for tracking vehicle, home office or depreciation.

May not suit: Multi-income individuals, property investors, or anyone needing custom tracking.

3. Online Lodgement Platforms

If you just want to get your tax return lodged with a bit of help, Etax and H&R Block Online are worth a look.

These online tax agents let you enter your income and expenses, answer a few questions, and then a real person checks it before submitting to the ATO. It feels like doing your taxes online, but behind the scenes, it’s still the same old-fashioned manual process.

It’s great if you’re chasing a refund and want some peace of mind. But there’s no year-round visibility or tracking.  It’s a tax app built for lodgement, not for long-term tax management. It won’t help you keep up with growing ATO compliance requirements or plan ahead for future expenses.

Pricing:

• Etax: From $82.49 for a basic return
  
• H&R Block Online: From $109 for a basic return

Best for: Simple tax returns, one-time lodgement help.

May not suit: Those with investments, complex tax needs or anyone wanting to track deductions and tax positions year-round.

4. The ATO’s myDeductions App

The ATO’s myDeductions tax app lets you capture receipts, log work trips, and back up your records, but it’s still very hands-on. You need to remember to manually back everything up. If your phone crashes, is lost, or gets replaced, your data could vanish.

At tax time, you can upload your records directly to the ATO, but the catch is that everything is uploaded, even if you don’t intend to claim it. Once submitted, that information becomes part of the ATO’s data model, not just your tax return.

And unlike purpose-built tax apps, myDeductions doesn’t help you identify or maximise deductions. It’s purely a compliance tool, not a tax planning solution.

Pricing:

• Free

Best for: Basic record keeping.

May not suit: People who want automation, reporting, or multi-income support.

5. TaxTank: The All-in-One Tax App for Australians

If you want a tax app that works for your whole financial life, not just one part of it , then TaxTank is worth a look.

TaxTank is built specifically for Australians. It’s designed to help individuals, sole traders, property investors and share/crypto traders to manage their tax in real time 365 days a year, not just at tax time.

Final Thoughts: Which Tax App Should You Use?

The best tax app for you depends on what kind of taxpayer you are:

Ready to simplify your tax?

Check out TaxTank and see how it stacks up.

No more last-minute scrambling. Just live tax tracking, clear insights and better outcomes, all in the one tax app.

1. Comprehensive Automation for Seamless Property Management

Investment property spreadsheets require manual data entry, constant updates, and frequent troubleshooting to ensure accuracy. TaxTank eliminates these inefficiencies through automation that streamlines the entire property management process. With TaxTank, you can:

• Link directly to your bank accounts using secure Open Banking technology, automatically importing and categorising transactions.
• Set up custom automation rules to handle recurring expenses and income, saving you hours of manual input.
• Access real-time financial data, ensuring that your records are always up-to-date without the risk of human error.

This level of automation not only saves time but also ensures you’re less likely to overlook deductible expenses or misreport income—issues that could lead to penalties from the ATO.

2. Built-In Tax Tools Designed for Australian Investors

Investment property spreadsheets may help you record your expenses and income, but they can’t handle the complexities of Australian tax law. TaxTank is specifically designed for Australian property investors, offering tools that simplify tax compliance and maximise your deductions. Key features include:

• Depreciation schedules: Adding existing depreciation schedules, new builds, and renovation projects for a property is relatively fast and painless in TaxTank. The better news? Once added, the schedules automatically allocate to future years to ensure nothing is missed year after year.
• Capital Gains Tax calculator: TaxTank has a built-in Capital Gains Tax (CGT) calculator so you will always know how much you need to pay in just three simple steps. You can also scenario test to see the financial outcomes of potential sales.
• ATO-compliant reporting: Generate reports that meet ATO standards, making your tax return lodgement faster and stress-free.

These built-in tools ensure you never miss a deduction while maintaining full compliance with Australian tax regulations.

3. Real-Time Insights and Forecasting

Unlike investment property spreadsheets, which offer a static snapshot of your finances, TaxTank provides dynamic, real-time insights to help you make smarter decisions. With TaxTank, you can:

• Monitor your portfolio’s performance with detailed dashboards displaying key metrics like rental income, expenses, and overall cash position.
• Access forecasting tools powered by CoreLogic to project growth and equity over time. This allows you to better plan future investments and understand property performance.
• Compare interactive reports and rental returns, ensuring you’re always armed with the right information when needed.

By offering these advanced forecasting tools, TaxTank empowers you to stay ahead of the game and maximise your property’s profitability.

4. Simplified Collaboration With Professionals

One of the significant limitations of investment property spreadsheets is their inability to facilitate effective collaboration. Sharing files with accountants, mortgage brokers, or financial advisors can be cumbersome and prone to version control issues. TaxTank simplifies this process by enabling:

• Direct access for your accountant or advisor, allowing them to review and update your financial data in real time.
• Seamless document sharing, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to the latest information without the need for email attachments or manual updates.
• Centralised data storage, so you never lose track of critical documents or reports.

This streamlined collaboration ensures your financial team can work more effectively, ultimately saving you time and reducing stress during tax season.

5. User-Friendly Interface Designed for Everyone

Investment property spreadsheets, especially those laden with complex formulas, can be intimidating and error-prone for many users. TaxTank’s intuitive interface makes property management accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical expertise. Key benefits include:

• Simple setup: Start managing your properties in minutes, with guided tutorials and easy navigation.
• Mobile-friendly design: Access your data anytime, anywhere, from your smartphone or tablet.

With TaxTank, you don’t need to be a tech wizard or a finance expert to take control of your investment portfolio.

Bonus: Security and Compliance You Can Trust

When managing financial data, security is paramount. Investment property spreadsheets stored on your computer or in the cloud are vulnerable to data breaches, accidental deletions, or unauthorised access. TaxTank offers enterprise-grade security features to protect your information, including:

• Encryption of sensitive data, ensuring your financial records are secure from prying eyes.
• Regular backups, so you never lose important information.
• Compliance with Australian data protection laws, giving you peace of mind that your data is handled responsibly.

By prioritising security and compliance, TaxTank safeguards your financial information while keeping you aligned with regulatory standards.

Conclusion

While an investment property spreadsheet has been a long-standing tool for managing finances, it pales in comparison to the capabilities of TaxTank. By offering comprehensive automation, built-in tax tools, real-time insights, simplified collaboration, and a user-friendly interface, TaxTank transforms the way property investors manage their portfolios. Add to that its superior security and compliance features, and it’s clear why TaxTank is the smarter choice for modern Australian investors.

If you’re ready to move beyond the limitations of spreadsheets and embrace a more efficient, accurate, and stress-free way of managing your investment properties, it’s time to make the switch to TaxTank. Your future self will thank you!

Unlike other platforms, TaxTank offers an all-in-one solution specifically designed for Australians, ensuring that both rental property investors get real-time insights into their tax position throughout the year. No more year-end surprises or confusing spreadsheets—TaxTank makes rental property accounting and tax compliance effortless. Let’s dive into what makes TaxTank the best rental property accounting software for Australian investors.

Why Investors Need Smart Rental Property Accounting Software

Investment properties are an excellent way to generate passive income, but managing them often comes with financial complexities. From recording rental income to tracking expenses and depreciation, property investors must navigate a maze of financial obligations. Manual bookkeeping and traditional spreadsheets can be error-prone, leaving landlords exposed to costly mistakes.

With the Australian Tax Office (ATO) scrutinising rental income more than ever, there’s a growing demand for tools that not only simplify tax compliance but also ensure accurate reporting. TaxTank meets this need by providing powerful automation features, allowing users to focus on growing their portfolios without getting bogged down in paperwork.

TaxTank: Built for Australian Taxpayers

One of the standout features of TaxTank is that it’s tailored to Australian tax laws. TaxTank consolidates over 6,000 pages of Australian tax legislation into a simple, user-friendly platform. This means no more flipping through complex tax documents or trying to interpret ambiguous tax rulings. With TaxTank, you get automatic calculations for capital gains tax (CGT), depreciation, and property-related expenses—everything you need to stay on top of your tax obligations.

This tailored approach is especially beneficial for Australian landlords, as the software is updated in real-time to reflect ATO changes. Unlike generic global platforms, TaxTank ensures that Australian property investors are always compliant with the latest regulations, giving peace of mind and the best financial outcomes.

Real-Time Tax Position: A Game Changer for Investors

Perhaps the most unique feature of TaxTank is its ability to provide real-time tax calculations. Many property investors dread the end of the financial year when they finally confront their tax liabilities, often leading to unpleasant surprises. With TaxTank, users get real-time updates on their tax obligations throughout the year. This level of transparency ensures that investors can make informed decisions about their portfolios with up-to-the-minute tax insights.

TaxTank’s live tax calculator allows users to see their potential refunds or tax debts immediately after inputting their data. Whether you own one rental property or an entire portfolio, this feature eliminates guesswork and empowers users to make better financial decisions throughout the year.

Comprehensive Expense Management: No Detail Left Behind

Managing rental property expenses is crucial to maximising your returns. Unfortunately, many property investors miss out on valuable tax deductions due to poor record-keeping or confusion about what’s deductible. TaxTank eliminates these problems by offering a detailed and comprehensive expense management tool.

The platform lets you automatically track and categorise all your property-related expenses, from repairs and maintenance to insurance and property management fees. What sets TaxTank apart from other software is its ability to integrate with your bank accounts through Open Banking, ensuring that no expense goes unaccounted for. With just a few clicks, you can log and categorise all your expenses, ensuring you claim every deduction you’re entitled to.

Depreciation Schedules and Capital Gains Tax Calculations

Depreciation is one of the most overlooked aspects of property ownership, yet it can provide substantial tax savings. TaxTank has built-in features that automatically calculate and apply depreciation schedules for your rental properties. By accurately tracking the decline in value of your property’s assets—like appliances, fixtures, and fittings—you can significantly reduce your taxable income.

When it comes time to sell a property, calculating capital gains tax (CGT) can be incredibly complex. TaxTank simplifies this process by automatically generating CGT reports, ensuring that you don’t overpay or underpay your tax obligations when selling a property. This level of accuracy is a must for property investors who want to maximise their returns while staying compliant with Australian tax laws.

Seamless Integration with Financial Institutions

TaxTank understands that time is money, which is why it offers seamless integration with major Australian banks and financial institutions through Open Banking. This allows for automatic syncing of income and expenses, ensuring your data is always up to date. Instead of manually inputting transactions, TaxTank pulls in your financial data and updates your tax position in real-time.

This integration also makes it easier to reconcile your bank statements with your rental income and property expenses, offering a holistic view of your financial health. By automating these tedious tasks, TaxTank frees up time for property investors to focus on growing their investments.

A User-Friendly Interface That Anyone Can Use

One of the biggest challenges property investors face with rental property accounting software is usability. Many platforms are designed with accountants in mind, making them difficult for the average property owner to navigate. TaxTank eliminates this hurdle with an intuitive, user-friendly interface that requires no prior accounting knowledge.

From the moment you log in, it’s clear that TaxTank was built for ease of use. The dashboard provides a clear overview of your financial position, tax obligations, and property portfolio overview. 

Why TaxTank is the Best Rental Property Accounting Software in Australia

With its robust feature set and user-friendly design, TaxTank has earned its place as the top choice for rental property accounting software in Australia. Unlike other platforms, TaxTank is built with Australian property investors in mind, offering a level of customisation and functionality that other software simply can’t match. From real-time tax calculations to seamless expense tracking, depreciation schedules, and capital gains tax reporting, TaxTank offers everything property investors need to stay compliant and maximise their returns.

If you’re looking for a smarter, simpler way to manage your rental properties and optimise your tax strategy, TaxTank is the best rental property accounting software solution available on the Australian market. Don’t waste time with outdated software or generic platforms. Start with a 14 day free trial of TaxTank and take control of your property tax with confidence.

ATO App: The Government’s Solution for Tax Management

The ATO app is a free tool provided by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to help individuals and sole traders manage their tax records. A key feature of the ATO app is the myDeductions tool, which allows users to store and manage records of their expenses and income.

Key Features of the ATO App

The myDeductions tool within the ATO app offers a range of features designed to simplify tax record-keeping:

• Expense Tracking: The myDeductions tool enables you to keep records of your work-related expenses, such as travel, work-from-home costs, and other general expenses, including the cost of managing your tax affairs or making charitable donations.
• Income Recording: Sole traders can use the app to record their business income and expenses, making it easier to compile these records at tax time.
• Car Expense Logbook: The app allows users to maintain a logbook for car expenses, which is crucial for claiming deductions related to business or work-related car travel.
• Photo Capture: The app lets you take photos of receipts and invoices, ensuring that all your records are stored in one place.

Limitations of the ATO App

While the ATO app is a useful tool, it does have some limitations:

• Local Data Storage: One major drawback is that all data is stored locally on your device. This means that if you lose your phone or it gets damaged, you risk losing all your records.
• Device Restrictions: You can only record information on a single device throughout the year. If you switch devices, you won’t be able to consolidate records, which can be a significant inconvenience.
• No Accountant or Advisor Collaboration: The ATO app doesn’t allow you to invite your accountant or advisor to view your data, meaning all communication and data sharing must be done manually.

TaxTank: A Superior Alternative for Comprehensive Tax Management

TaxTank is a cloud-based tax management platform designed to cater to the needs of individual taxpayers, sole traders, and investors in Australia. Unlike the ATO app, TaxTank offers a robust set of features that extend beyond basic record-keeping, making it a more powerful tool for managing your tax and finances throughout the year.

Why TaxTank Outshines the ATO App

Cloud-Based Data Storage: One of the standout features of TaxTank is its cloud-based storage. Unlike the ATO app, which stores data locally, TaxTank ensures that your records are securely stored in the cloud. This means you can access your data from any device, and you never have to worry about losing your information if your device is lost or damaged.

Auto-Calculation of Tax: TaxTank offers live tax calculations throughout the year. This feature is particularly useful for avoiding any surprises at tax time, as you can see how much tax you owe in real-time, making budgeting and planning much easier.

Depreciation and Capital Gains Tax Calculations: For those with investment properties or other assets, TaxTank automatically calculates depreciation and Capital Gains Tax (CGT). This feature is invaluable for ensuring that all deductions are accurately recorded and that you’re not overpaying your taxes.

Income and Expense Totals: TaxTank aggregates all your income and expenses, giving you a clear picture of your financial situation at any point during the year. This feature is especially useful for sole traders and investors who need to keep track of multiple income streams and expenses.

Accountant and Advisor Collaboration: TaxTank allows you to invite your accountant or advisor directly to the platform. This collaborative feature streamlines the process of preparing your tax return, as your accountant can access all your records in real-time, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication.  Plus your advisor can see your live financial position to collaborate and make informed financial decisions.

TaxTank’s Key Features

• Real-Time Tax Tracking: TaxTank’s auto-calculation of tax liabilities means you can track how much tax you owe in real-time, helping you stay on top of your obligations.
• Comprehensive Financial Management: The platform goes beyond tax management, offering tools to manage your personal finances, including budgeting, expense and investment tracking.
• Seamless Data Sharing: TaxTank’s cloud-based system ensures that your data is always accessible and can be easily shared with your accountant or advisor.
• No Device Restrictions: Unlike the ATO app, TaxTank’s cloud-based nature means you can access your data from multiple devices without any restrictions.

Why TaxTank is the Better Choice for Australian Taxpayers

When comparing the ATO app to TaxTank, it’s clear that TaxTank offers a more comprehensive and user-friendly experience. While the ATO app’s myDeductions tool is a good starting point for those who need a basic record-keeping solution, it falls short in several key areas. The limitations of local data storage, the inability to consolidate records across devices, and the lack of collaboration features make the ATO app less ideal for those with more complex tax situations.

On the other hand, TaxTank provides a robust, cloud-based platform that not only simplifies tax management but also enhances your overall financial planning. With features like real-time tax calculations, automatic depreciation and CGT calculations, and the ability to collaborate with your accountant and advisors, TaxTank stands out as the superior choice for managing your taxes and finances in Australia.

Final Thoughts

Whether you’re an individual taxpayer, a sole trader, or an investor, choosing the right tax management tool can make a significant difference in how smoothly your tax season goes. While the ATO app is a free and convenient option, TaxTank’s advanced features and cloud-based system make it the better choice for those who want to stay on top of their finances year-round. By opting for TaxTank, you can ensure that your tax records are secure, accessible, and accurate, helping you avoid any last-minute tax time headaches.  Ready to take control of your tax and finances? Start your free trial with TaxTank today and experience the difference for yourself!

The right Investment Property Tracker not only simplifies your property finances but also ensures you maximise your tax deductions, ultimately increasing your returns. Among the many options available, TaxTank stands out as the premier solution for Australian property investors. Tailored specifically for the Australian market, TaxTank offers unparalleled features that streamline property tracking and tax management, ensuring you stay compliant while optimising your financial outcomes.

The Challenges of Property Investment in Australia

Investing in property is not without its challenges. From fluctuating property values to the complexities of tax regulations, investors need to be vigilant. One of the biggest hurdles is keeping accurate records of all income and expenses related to the property. Australian tax law is stringent when it comes to claiming deductions on investment properties, and failing to maintain precise records can lead to missed opportunities and potential audits.

For instance, tracking rental income, maintenance costs, interest expenses, depreciation, and capital improvements can be a daunting task, particularly if you own multiple properties. Moreover, the ATO requires detailed documentation to substantiate any claims, which means that sloppy or incomplete records could result in denied deductions or, worse, penalties. Using a dedicated Investment Property Tracker like TaxTank ensures that every detail is recorded accurately, making the entire process more manageable.

Why TaxTank is the Best Investment Property Tracker in Australia

Comprehensive Property Management

TaxTank is designed to be a one-stop solution for all your property tracking needs. It allows you to track every aspect of your investment property from rental income, expenses, loan repayments, and depreciation schedules, ensuring that you have a complete overview of your property’s financial performance at all times. As the leading Investment Property Tracker in Australia, TaxTank offers real-time insights that are crucial for making informed decisions.

One of the standout features of TaxTank is its real-time reporting capabilities. TaxTank reports the tax and cash position of properties and portfolios so you can see exactly what each property costs to hold (cash position) and the impact on your tax return (tax position) so you can make better decisions to proactively control how much tax you pay.

Better still, they’ve partnered with CoreLogic to forecast growth and equity over time for better planning. Having a clear picture of property performance and equity, coupled with rental returns and interactive reports, will ensure you’re always in control and armed with the right information when thinking about buying or selling. TaxTank is more than just an Investment Property Tracker; it’s a complete solution for property investors.

Live Bank Feeds with Open Banking

A significant innovation that sets TaxTank apart as an Investment Property Tracker is its integration with live bank feeds through Open Banking. This feature allows you to seamlessly link your bank accounts, enabling automatic and secure updates of all your financial transactions. With live bank feeds, every income, expense, and loan repayment related to your investment properties is captured in real-time, reducing manual entry and the risk of errors. This ensures your financial data is always up-to-date, making your tax calculations more accurate and hassle-free. Open Banking not only enhances convenience but also adds a layer of security and efficiency to your property management, giving you more time to focus on growing your investment portfolio.

Optimised Tax Management

When it comes to tax time, many property investors dread the task of collating receipts, calculating deductions, and ensuring that they’ve claimed everything they’re entitled to. TaxTank, as an advanced Investment Property Tracker, takes the stress out of tax management by automatically calculating your tax obligations and potential refunds based on the data you’ve entered throughout the year.

The platform is fully compliant with Australian tax laws, and it’s regularly updated to reflect any changes in regulations. This means you can rest assured that you’re always claiming the maximum deductions legally allowed, without the risk of non-compliance. The precision and ease that TaxTank brings make it the ultimate Investment Property Tracker for tax management.

Tailored for Australian Property Investors

Unlike generic property management tools, TaxTank is specifically designed for the Australian market. This means it takes into account the unique aspects of Australian property investment, such as negative gearing, capital gains tax (CGT) discounts, and the intricacies of depreciation schedules for Australian properties. As an Investment Property Tracker built for Australians, it ensures all these local factors are seamlessly integrated.

For example, TaxTank includes built-in tools for calculating depreciation using the latest rates and methods approved by the ATO. Adding existing depreciation schedules, new builds, and renovation projects for a property is relatively fast and painless in TaxTank. The better news is that once added, the schedules automatically allocate to future years to ensure nothing is missed year after year. This level of customisation is what makes TaxTank the preferred Investment Property Tracker for Australian investors.

Ease of Use and Accessibility

Despite its comprehensive features, TaxTank is incredibly user-friendly. The platform is designed with simplicity in mind, making it accessible even to those with limited financial or technological expertise. The intuitive onboarding checklist guides you through each step of the process, from setting up your property profile to adding your banks and property portfolios.

Additionally, TaxTank is available as a web-based platform that is responsive on all devices, giving you the flexibility to manage your property portfolio on the go. Whether you’re at home, in the office, or inspecting a property, you can easily access your account and update your records in real-time. This accessibility further enhances TaxTank’s reputation as the top Investment Property Tracker.

How TaxTank Stacks Up Against the Competition

There are several property management tools available in Australia, but none offer the same level of detail and customisation as TaxTank. While some platforms focus solely on tracking rental income and expenses, TaxTank provides a holistic view of your property investment, integrating tax management, compliance, and financial analysis into a single platform. This integration is what sets TaxTank apart as a superior Investment Property Tracker.

Other tools may offer basic reporting features, but they often lack the depth of data required to make truly informed decisions. TaxTank, on the other hand, allows you to drill down into the specifics of your property’s performance, providing detailed insights that can help you optimise your investment strategy.

Moreover, many competing platforms are not tailored to the Australian market, meaning they may not account for local tax laws or financial practices. This can lead to inaccurate calculations and missed opportunities for tax savings. TaxTank’s Australian focus ensures that every feature is designed with the local investor in mind, making it the most reliable and effective Investment Property Tracker for managing your investment properties in Australia.

While TaxTank is the top recommendation, several other apps also provide valuable features for sole traders. Here’s a look at some alternatives:

Hnry

Cost – 1% + GST of total income or maximum of $1,500+GST a year

Hnry provides a unique approach to tax management by offering an app for uploading receipts and sending invoices, along with automated tax calculations and payments managed by their in house accountants. Their service includes expense management and tax return lodgement on your behalf, as well as communication with the ATO if needed. However, using Hnry requires opening a Hnry trust account for all business payments and manually logging other incomes and expenses to upload into the system. 

QuickBooks Online

Cost – starts from $29 per month

QuickBooks Online is a basic platform for financial management, suitable for sole traders and small businesses. It offers a user-friendly interface, basic reporting features, and integrates with various third-party platforms.

Choosing the Right Tax App for Sole Trader Needs

What are the top tax apps in Australia?

In Australia there are many apps to choose from, with varying costs and feature lists. So how do they stack up?

Tax App #1: myDeductions (linked to myTax)

Cost – Free

The ATO myDeductions tool is a free option, but it differs from others as it doesn’t involve an accountant for maximising refunds. Users can record expenses, deductions, vehicle trips, and income for sole traders. Additionally, the app allows the upload of photos of receipts and invoices, giving users the flexibility to either self-lodge or forward the information to an accountant.

Using myDeductions in conjunction with myTax comes with a few downsides. Firstly, it’s most suitable for those with straightforward tax situations. Even then, there’s no assurance that you’ll snag the optimal tax refund tailored to your unique circumstances. If you’ve got investment income, rental properties, or capital gains, navigating myTax for the best refund isn’t a walk in the park.

Secondly, myTax leaves you high and dry when it comes to support during the lodgement process. You’re pretty much on your own if questions pop up or if you hit any roadblocks.

Another snag is that myTax relies on net amounts, putting the burden on you to calculate deductions. This demands a good grasp of current tax laws to ensure you nail it down correctly.

Tax App #2: TaxTank (Recommended)

Cost – Subscriptions start from $6 per month

TaxTank stands out as a user-friendly, cloud-based tax app suitable for any tax situation. It features smart tax tools and live bank feeds to eliminate guesswork, ensuring no deduction goes unnoticed with real-time accuracy.

One standout feature of TaxTank is its ability to display your real-time tax position every day of the year. This provides a snapshot of where you stand with the ATO, helping you avoid surprises come tax time.

The app allows you to effortlessly track your income, expenses, properties, sole trader business, shares, and cryptos—all in one organised hub. This enables you to make informed financial decisions without the hassle of juggling multiple tools.

Tax App #3: TaxApp

Cost – Free for clients

TaxApp is an accounting firm in Sydney that allows clients to manually input their income and expenses and create invoices that can be downloaded and sent. However, it doesn’t calculate your tax position automatically and only offers a basic capital gains tax calculator.

The purpose of the app is to streamline data entry, but clients still need to work directly with their accountants for accurate tax calculations and tax return submissions.

Tax App #4: TaxFox

Cost – Free for some features, subscriptions start from $8 per month

Launched in July 2020, TaxFox maximises deductions with job-specific tips, enabling users to benchmark their deductions against peers. The app accommodates logging working-from-home hours and associated expenses, along with easy receipt storage. You can add bank accounts but each subscription tiers have limits on linking bank accounts to unlimited receipts and work-from-home days.

Tax App #5: Etax

Cost – Starts from $78.49

Etax lets users snap and save receipts, contact accountants, and provides insights into common deductions based on occupation. With tax accountants overseeing the tax return process, Etax offers online tax returns starting at $78.49.  Additional services tailored for low-income individuals and small businesses are also available.  It is not a service to use throughout the year to stay on top of your tax, but more in line with lodging your tax return at the end of financial year.

Choosing the right Tax App for your needs

Maximising tax refunds in Australia is almost a national pastime, and the good news is that these costs are tax-deductible. For simple tax returns, the ATO’s app via MyGov may suffice.

However, if you’re aiming for more substantial deductions or have complex financial situations, investing in a specialised tax app becomes valuable. TaxTank is the best tax app and proves beneficial for intricate work-from-home arrangements, multiple deductions, income streams, and diverse investments. Try TaxTank for free for 14 days.

1. TaxTank: Your Ultimate Tax and Investment Management Partner

TaxTank is an essential tool for any Australian property investor, offering a comprehensive suite of features that goes beyond traditional property management. What sets TaxTank apart is its focus on tax optimisation and investment performance tracking, making it an indispensable asset for anyone serious about maximising their property returns.

At the core of TaxTank is its real-time tax calculator, which allows investors to see the tax implications of their decisions instantly. Whether you’ve purchasing a new property, sold an existing one, or made significant renovations, TaxTank shows you how these actions have affected your tax and financial position live throughout the year. This transparency is crucial for strategic planning and helps you make informed decisions that benefit your bottom line.

With the ATO’s focus on property investors, it is now even more important to get this right.

2. PropertyMe: All-in-One Property Management

PropertyMe continues to be a good choice for property management in Australia, particularly for those managing multiple properties. Its cloud-based platform offers a centralised dashboard where investors can manage everything from tenant communication to operational management with ease.

One of PropertyMe’s standout features is its automated workflows, which streamline processes like rent collection, maintenance tracking, and lease management. These automated systems reduce the manual workload for landlords and property managers, freeing up time to focus on growing the portfolio.

PropertyMe does offer integration with Xero, which is beneficial for syncing financial data and generating basic reports. While popular, Xero often falls short of delivering the specialised tools required for effective tax management and detailed financial oversight specific to property investments.

PropertyMe’s strengths lie in its property management features, but when it comes to tax optimisation and advanced financial reporting, relying solely on Xero could leave gaps in your financial strategy.

For those who need a solution to property management, PropertyMe’s extensive features and user-friendly interface make it a contender among property portfolio apps.

Pricing: The Basic plan starts at $242 per month billed by 100-property increments.
