01 · Capture
Snap a receipt in one tap
The yellow Scan button is on every screen. TallyBox reads the supplier, date, total, GST and the supplier's ABN, and nothing is saved until you have checked it.
- Multi-page scanning, photos, and PDFs from Mail or Files
- Purchases over $82.50 without an ABN are flagged, so you keep your GST credits
- Mixed receipts: the GST-free part is worked out for you
- Overseas purchases with the AUD amount from your bank statement
02 · GST and BAS
BAS figures, box by box
G1, 1A and 1B for each quarter or month, worked out on a cash basis from what you have recorded. Each figure is labelled with the box it goes in, in whole dollars, ready to copy.
- Due dates and a running total of GST to pay or get back
- A warning as turnover approaches the $75,000 GST threshold
- Business-use percentages applied to GST credits
- Employee work expenses (D1–D5) kept out of the business figures
03 · Quotes and invoices
Quote on site, invoice in one tap
Labour with start and finish times, materials, discounts and GST-free lines. When the customer says yes, the quote becomes an invoice, and the payment goes into your income with the right GST.
- Tax invoices that meet the ATO's requirements
- Your BSB, account and PayID printed on every invoice
- Send by email or message; the PDF sent is exactly the preview
- Overdue invoices marked, with a polite reminder ready to send
04 · Your accountant
Hand it all over in one go
After each BAS period, TallyBox reminds you and prepares that period's pack. At tax time, send the whole financial year.
- CSV files of every expense and sale, Xero and MYOB friendly
- Every receipt image, the invoices you sent and a summary
- A financial-year summary by ATO category, as a PDF
- Check a bank statement CSV for payments with no receipt
05 · Vehicle logbook
The ATO 12-week logbook
Keep it once and its business-use percentage can be used for five years. TallyBox works out the percentage and applies it to fuel and car costs.
- Odometer readings, trips with their purpose, and favourite routes
- Log a trip from Siri or when CarPlay connects
- No background GPS tracking
- A logbook report as a PDF for your accountant

Coming from ReceiptsBox?
TallyBox finds your ReceiptsBox iCloud backup and brings your receipts across with their photos. GST is read again from each receipt; when it cannot be read, the receipt is marked for you to check rather than guessed.
Made in Sydney, answered by a person
TallyBox is made by TECHBOOSTER PTY LIMITED in Sydney. Every support email is read and answered by a person, usually within one business day.
Questions
Before you download
Does TallyBox lodge my BAS?
No. TallyBox prepares the figures and shows which box each one goes in. You lodge through ATO Online services, or give the figures to your BAS or tax agent.
Do I need to be registered for GST?
No. If you are not registered, TallyBox hides the GST fields, keeps your income and expenses, and warns you as your turnover approaches the $75,000 threshold.
Does it connect to my bank?
No. Instead, import a CSV statement from your internet banking and TallyBox shows payments with no receipt and money in you haven't recorded. The file is read on your device and not kept.
What happens when the free trial ends?
You are not charged. Pro features become read-only until you buy Pro once; nothing is deleted and the free features keep working.
TallyBox prepares your figures; it doesn't lodge your BAS or give tax advice. Talk to your accountant or registered tax agent about your situation. Apple, iPhone, iPad, Siri and CarPlay are trademarks of Apple Inc. App Store is a service mark of Apple Inc.
