Is this ATO compliant?

Yes. Claim Mate is designed specifically for Australian tax requirements. Reports follow Australian financial year quarters (Q1: Jul-Sep, Q2: Oct-Dec, Q3: Jan-Mar, Q4: Apr-Jun) and include all necessary information for BAS and tax returns.

How does AI receipt scanning work?

Simply capture a receipt with your phone. Our AI automatically extracts merchant name, date, amount, line items, and suggests categories. You can review and edit any details before saving.

Can I track vehicle trips for tax deductions?

Absolutely. Enter start and end addresses (Australian addresses only), and Google Maps calculates the distance automatically. Create return trips with one tap. All trips are organized by financial quarter.

What format are the reports in?

Reports are generated as comprehensive PDFs, organized by financial quarter. They include all expenses with receipts, all trips with distances, and are formatted for easy submission to the ATO or your accountant.

Do I need to connect my bank account?

No. Claim Mate works with manual receipt scanning and trip logging. You maintain full control over your data.

Yes. All data is encrypted and securely stored in the cloud. We use industry-standard security practices. Your information is private and protected.

Can I use this on multiple devices?

Yes. Claim Mate syncs all your data across devices. Start tracking on your phone, review on your tablet — everything stays in sync.

What if I need to edit or delete an expense?

You can edit any expense details at any time, or delete expenses with a confirmation step. All changes are synced across your devices.
