For contractors
Between jobs, materials and invoices, the admin stacks up fast. AI2Fin keeps expense tracking for contractors effortless — sorting spending automatically, surfacing deductions, and keeping you tax-ready without the weekend paperwork.
Materials, tools, fuel and subcontractor costs are categorised automatically, so you can see what each job really costs you.
From equipment to vehicle running costs, deductible spend is surfaced so you keep more of every contract.
The admin runs in the background. Your books stay current automatically, so paperwork stops eating your downtime.
Pay contractors for building and construction, cleaning, courier, road freight, IT or security services and the ATO expects a Taxable Payments Annual Report. Flag the payee, record the ABN, and Fin prepares it with the columns the ATO asks for — ABN, name, address, gross paid including GST, GST, and anything withheld. You lodge it.
Plain-English guides to the deductions that come up most for work like yours — what usually counts, what usually does not, and the records worth keeping.
As a doctor you can generally claim your AHPRA registration, medical indemnity insurance, work-related self-education and CPD, and professional equipment.
As an aged-care or disability support worker you can generally claim uniforms and laundry, first-aid training, travel between clients, and required checks.
As a security guard you can generally claim your licence renewal, compulsory uniforms and laundry, required equipment, and first-aid training.
Engineering claims sit in two piles that behave very differently: the credentials that keep you registered, deductible year after year, and the degree that got you there, which never is.
Whether a frozen meal is taxed can hinge on a judge deciding what counts as a 'prepared meal' by common experience — and Simplot (maker of Birds Eye products) lost that argument in 2023.
In Simplot Australia v Commissioner of Taxation [2023] FCA 1115 the Federal Court ruled frozen vegetable-, rice- and pasta-based products were taxable 'prepared meals' or 'combination foods', applying 'common experience and common sense' about what an everyday meal is rather than the maker's own marketing.
Norway made electric cars completely VAT-free, and it worked almost too well: by 2025 electric vehicles were about 95% of new car sales, and the exemption was costing roughly NOK 17.5 billion (about €1.5 billion) a year.
Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg put it simply — with an electric car share of 95% this year, the goal has been achieved — as the government moved to wind the break back. The electric vehicle association countered that seven out of ten cars on Norwegian roads still run on fossil fuel.

Your records can stay on your own machine or in your own cloud, telemetry stays off unless you turn it on, and Fin keeps an auditable record of everything it sends. Enterprise adds the people and the paperwork: dedicated support, custom deployment and reviews for large-scale operations.
Verify it yourselfYes. Your spending is categorised automatically so job-related costs stay organised and easy to review.
Common contractor deductions include tools and equipment, vehicle and fuel costs, materials, insurance and subscriptions — AI2Fin surfaces these from your spending so you can review and claim what applies. AI2Fin helps you find and organise potential deductions; always confirm what applies to you with your accountant or tax authority.
Yes. Read-only bank connections are protected with strong encryption, your credentials are never stored, and you can disconnect anytime.
Not automatically. For building and construction the ATO applies a 50% test rather than an always-lodge rule: you report if you paid contractors for building and construction services and, in the current or previous year, 50% or more of your business income or business activity came from those services, or you expect it to. Cleaning, courier, road freight, IT and security services have their own rules. Fin prepares the report from the contractor payments you flag; whether you need to lodge it is a question to settle with the ATO or your accountant. AI2Fin helps you find and organise potential deductions; always confirm what applies to you with your accountant or tax authority.
