How it works
Three steps. About thirty seconds.
Export your statement
Log into internet banking and export transactions as CSV. CBA, ANZ, Westpac, NAB, Up, ING — all supported.
Drop it in
Drag and drop the file. It's parsed in your browser — the raw CSV never leaves your device, and BSBs + account numbers are stripped before anything crosses the network.
See what you can claim
Every transaction is categorised against ATO D1–D10 rules for your occupation. Review each line, tweak what doesn't fit, export.
Your job, your rules
A nurse and a tradie claim different things. We know both.

How it works
All the major Aussie banks that let you export CSVs — CBA, ANZ, Westpac, NAB, Macquarie, Up, ING, Bankwest, ME, St.George, plus a generic fallback for anything else. If you can log in and export transactions as a CSV, we can read it.
A CSV export of your transactions. PDF and OFX support are on the roadmap; right now it's CSV only. Most banks put the CSV export option in transaction history or account details.
Internet banking → transaction history → Export or Download → choose CSV format → pick a date range (1 July to today for the current FY). Each bank calls the button something slightly different, but it's there.
Claimspot currently supports PAYG employee deduction reviews for the individual tax return.
Privacy & security
No. We never touch your login. You download the CSV yourself, then upload the file. Claimspot has no bank connection, no credentials, no screen-scraping.
Your CSV is parsed entirely in your browser — the raw file never crosses the network. Before anything is sent for categorisation, BSBs, account numbers, and balances are stripped. Only transaction descriptions and amounts reach our servers, and sessions are tied to an unguessable ID so no account is required.
Pricing & scope
No. Claimspot finds potential deductions in your spending. You still lodge through myTax or your tax agent. Think of us as the part that tells you what to claim, not the part that files it.
A tax agent charges $200–400 for similar review. H&R Block DIY starts around $80–130. A one-time $39.99 sits well below both, and there's no subscription. The free preview shows your categories and transaction counts before you pay — so you decide whether it's worth it.
