Why TaxResearch
Australian tax software that thinks like an Australian tax professional. Cite a statute. Quote a ruling. Pin down a case. All in one query.
AI for Australian tax
Statutes (ITAA 1936, ITAA 1997, GST Act, FBT Act, TAA 1953), every ATO ruling type (TR, TD, GSTR, MT, LCR, PCG, PS LA) and Australian court decisions. No US tax leakage, no generic AI guesswork.
Tax research AI
Other tax research software returns documents you still have to read. TaxResearch returns the answer with the relevant statute section, ATO ruling paragraph or case paragraph quoted alongside it.
From research to polished draft
Send your cited answers to the ThoughtPad, layer in your firm's precedents, and let the Augmenter redline your existing draft. TaxResearch outputs a polished document in your firm or personal style — citations carried through.
Verifiable by design
Every claim links to a real statute section or judgement paragraph with the supporting quote. If the AI cannot find a source, it tells you. Built for professionals who need to defend their advice.
See it work
Two of the things that make TaxResearch different from generic tax AI: every claim is backed by a real source quote you can verify, and your research can be applied into existing client documents in tracked redlines.
Verify every citation
Every claim TaxResearch makes is linked to a real Australian source paragraph. Hover a citation and the supporting quote opens in line — from the statute, ATO ruling or court paragraph the AI relied on.
Unfrankable Distributions from Share Capital Account: A distribution is unfrankable if it is sourced, directly or indirectly, from a company’s share capital account. 3 This applies to distributions that constitute a reduction or return of share capital, even if labelled as a dividend. 4 The definition of a share capital account includes an account a company keeps of its share capital, or any other account where the first amount credited was share capital. 5 Therefore, any portion of a selective buyback that is a return of share capital cannot be franked.
Benchmark Franking Percentage: A corporate tax entity franks a distribution by allocating a franking credit to it. 6 The benchmark franking percentage is a key concept in determining the maximum franking without penalty. If an entity franks a frankable distribution at a percentage that exceeds its benchmark franking percentage for the franking period, it is liable to pay over-franking tax. 7 This effectively sets the benchmark franking percentage as the maximum franking allowed without incurring a penalty.
The Augmenter
Once you have your cited answer, the Augmenter applies it into your existing draft — pulling in new findings, citations and tightened wording as tracked redlines you can review and accept.
Tell the Augmenter what to change. It will mark up your existing document with tracked redlines so you can review every edit before accepting.

FAQ
Traditional tax research software gives you documents — you still have to read them and decide what applies. TaxResearch is an AI for tax research: ask a question in plain English and the answer comes back with the relevant statute section, ATO ruling paragraph or court paragraph quoted in line. You spend your time on judgement, not on digging.
