Common questions, straight answers

No jargon. No runaround.

Is BASmate a tax agent?
No. We help you organise invoices and prep BAS numbers. Always verify with a registered tax agent before lodging.
How does the AI know which category my invoice fits?
Trained on Australian Tax Office category guidance and your own corrections. The more you use it, the smarter it gets for your business.
What if the AI gets a category wrong?
Tap to fix. The correction trains a category rule (e.g. "Bunnings = Materials") so it never asks again.
Can my accountant access my data?
Yes - on the Pro plan. They get a read-only shared view of your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
Your data stays accessible for 90 days. Export to CSV any time.
Where is my data stored?
Australian-hosted servers, encrypted at rest and in transit. We never sell or share your data.
