Deductions you didn't know you could claim.
Every year, millions of Australians leave money on the table. Not because they aren't entitled to deductions — but because they don't realise what's deductible. Night Tax AI changes that by asking the right questions, based on your occupation, industry, business structure and income sources.
How it works
AI that understands what you do — and what you can claim.
Most tax software waits for you to remember every expense. Night Tax AI is different. It looks at your occupation, industry, business structure and income sources, then prompts you with targeted questions designed to uncover deductions you didn't know existed.
Your profile
We capture your job title, industry, work arrangements, and whether you earn salary, business, or investment income.
Smart prompts
AI suggests deduction categories specific to your situation — not generic lists that miss the details.
Agent checked
Every deduction is reviewed by a registered tax agent before lodgement, with ATO substantiation rules applied.
For employees
Work-related deductions employees often miss.
If you earn a salary or wages, you may be able to claim far more than just the standard $300 in deductions. The key is connecting your expenses to your income, keeping records, and knowing the ATO's substantiation rules.
Common hidden deductions
- Work-from-home running costs — electricity, heating, cooling, lighting, and depreciation on office furniture
- Uniforms and protective clothing — including compulsory branded wear, steel-capped boots, sun protection and laundering
- Tools and equipment — items under $300 can often be claimed outright
- Union fees, professional memberships, and licences required for your job
- Self-education, training, and courses that maintain or improve your current skills
- Travel between work sites, client meetings, and conferences — not including the commute from home
- Phone and internet costs used for work, apportioned correctly
- Income protection insurance premiums and personal super contributions
How Night Tax AI prompts you
Based on your job title, we ask targeted questions like:
- →"Do you work from home, and if so, how many days per week?"
- →"Does your employer require a specific uniform or protective clothing?"
- →"Do you use your personal phone or internet for work?"
- →"Have you paid any union fees, professional memberships, or licences this year?"
For sole traders & small business
Business expenses hiding in plain sight.
Running a business means a wider range of deductions — but many owners forget to claim legitimate expenses, or claim personal costs incorrectly. Night Tax AI helps you get the business side right while keeping the ATO happy.
Commonly missed business deductions
- Business software and subscriptions — accounting, CRM, design, project management and cloud storage tools
- Marketing and advertising — including Google Ads, social media spend, website costs, and branded merchandise
- Professional services — accounting fees, legal advice, and bookkeeping that relate to your business
- Vehicle and travel expenses — business kilometres, client meetings, and site visits using logbook or cents-per-km method
- Home-based business overheads — a portion of rent, mortgage interest, rates, insurance and utilities
- Insurance, bank fees, and interest on business loans or credit facilities
- Small asset purchases under the instant asset write-off threshold
- Staff training, contractors, and even some business-related memberships
How Night Tax AI prompts you
After identifying your business structure, we ask questions like:
- →"What software or subscriptions do you pay for to run your business?"
- →"Do you use a vehicle for business travel? Do you have a logbook?"
- →"Do you work from a dedicated home office, or is it a mixed-use space?"
- →"Have you paid for marketing, advertising, or website development this year?"
For investors
Investment deductions that add up fast.
Whether you own shares, ETFs, cryptocurrency, or rental property, investment-related costs are often deductible. The tricky part is knowing what can be claimed against income, what relates to capital gains, and what records the ATO expects.
Hidden investment deductions
- Brokerage fees and transaction costs on shares, ETFs and managed funds
- Data subscriptions, research platforms, and financial publications used for investing
- Depreciation on devices used to manage your investment portfolio
- Account-keeping fees and investment management fees
- Rental property costs — advertising for tenants, property management fees, insurance, repairs, and maintenance
- Interest on loans used to purchase income-producing assets
- Costs of keeping CGT records — valuations, advice, and record-keeping systems
- Tax advice and tax return costs related to your investments
How Night Tax AI prompts you
We identify your investment types and then ask:
- →"Do you pay for any investment research, data feeds, or financial newsletters?"
- →"Have you bought or sold shares, ETFs, or crypto this financial year?"
- →"Do you own a rental property? What expenses have you paid for repairs, management, or insurance?"
- →"Do you use a computer, tablet, or phone primarily for managing your investments?"
AI suggestions, agent verified.
Night Tax AI is powerful, but it never overrides ATO rules. Every deduction suggestion must meet the ATO's substantiation requirements: you need to have spent the money yourself, it must relate to earning income, and you must have a record to prove it.
That's why every AI-prepared return is checked by a registered Australian tax agent before lodgement. We make sure your deductions are legitimate, properly documented, and compliant — so you can claim with confidence.
Substantiation
Receipts, invoices, bank statements, logbooks, and diaries — we tell you exactly what to keep.
Apportionment
We split expenses between private and work/business use correctly, so you don't overclaim.
Agent sign-off
A registered tax agent reviews and signs your return before it goes to the ATO.
Let AI search for deductions you didn't even know existed.
