AI tax software in Australia

A market shaped by the ATO's prefill data and by the sole trader — where automation starts the return rather than finishing it.

Australian tax software builds on infrastructure most countries lack: ATO pre-fill supplies income and health insurance data directly, so the work shifts from data entry to deductions and review. Etax, an online tax agent since 1998, combines that prefill with a two-accountant check on every return.

The more interesting automation targets sole traders. Thriday categorises transactions and sets aside tax automatically, MYOB's Solo app added a generative assistant for Australia's roughly 1.6 million sole operators, and Hnry deducts and pays obligations from each payment received. Crypto is well served too — Crypto Tax Calculator was built in Sydney.

Frequently asked

What is the best tax app for Australian sole traders?
Hnry automates deduction and payment of obligations from each payment, Thriday combines banking with automatic BAS and tax set-aside, and Solo by MYOB targets sole operators who have never used accounting software. The choice depends on whether you want banking bundled in.
Do Australian tax apps use ATO prefill?
Yes — Etax Prefill pulls ATO data straight into the return and prompts for likely deductions, which is why Australian returns generally require less manual entry than US ones.
