    About TaxKiln Australia

    We're here for the Australian businesses that actually pay tax.

    TaxKiln Australia is a free editorial publisher of plain-English Australian tax guides and stateless in-browser calculators. We cover income tax, capital gains, company tax, franking credits, superannuation, negative gearing, GST, stamp duty, and the rest of the everyday Australian tax landscape — for sole traders, Pty Ltd companies, family and discretionary trusts, partnerships, and landlords, across every state and territory.

    We are not a SaaS product, not a lead-gen funnel, and not a tax agent. We don't ask for your email. We don't put you on a waitlist. We don't track individuals or sessions. Calculators run entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server, stored, or shared. Aggregate page-view analytics via Plausible (cookieless, no IP storage, no personal data).

    What we publish

    • Statute-grounded explainers (ITAA 1997, ITAA 1936, GST Act 1999, SIS Act 1993)
    • Stateless calculators for the most common Australian tax decisions
    • State-by-state comparisons for stamp duty, land tax, and payroll tax
    • Worked examples, not marketing copy

    Publisher

    TaxKiln Australia is published by Kiln Guides Ltd (United Kingdom). We're part of a small network of independent editorial sites — currently SiteKiln, PropertyKiln, and InkKiln. We don't pre-announce what we haven't shipped.

    Why a UK publisher behind Australian editorial?

    TaxKiln Australia is editorially independent, ATO-research-led, and built for Australian readers. It is published by Kiln Guides Ltd, registered in the United Kingdom. The UK publisher provenance is deliberate and not hidden.

    • Editorial independence over local incorporation. A UK-registered publisher with no Australian tax-agent registration, no return-prep funnel, no AFSL, and no Australian retail-finance presence cannot be commercially captured by Australian tax software companies, tax-agent franchises, or registered financial advisers. Editorial independence costs structurally less than it would for an Australian-incorporated entity.
    • Custodian, not local operator. We publish guidance for Australian readers because Australian tax law is poorly covered in the free editorial market. We do not file your return, advise on your specific circumstances, or accept fees from Australian taxpayers. The same publisher operates equivalent free guidance for other markets — none of them in a relationship with the local return-prep ecosystem.
    • What this means for you as a reader. TaxKiln Australia is guidance, not advice. We cite statute (ITAA 1997, ITAA 1936, GST Act 1999, FBTAA 1986, SGAA 1992, TAA 1953) and ATO public rulings (TR, GSTR, MT, PR, CR). We sign-post a registered tax agent (TPB-registered), CPA Australia / CA ANZ / IPA member, or the ATO for personalised advice. The content is openly published — readers come back if it's useful; we don't capture email addresses or sell return-prep services.
    • Network of Kilns. TaxKiln is one of a network of editorial Kilns published by Kiln Guides Ltd. Each addresses a market where free, statute-grounded guidance is undersupplied. The custodian model — published, never marketed-at — is by design.

    Editorial

    Scott Jones — small business owner in the UK who finds international tax fascinating (probably needs a new hobby).

    He publishes TaxKiln through Kiln Guides Ltd and writes alongside an editorial process documented in our Editorial Policy and Editorial Scope pages. He is not a registered tax agent, CPA, EA, or chartered tax adviser — TaxKiln is guidance, not advice, and we sign-post a TPB-registered tax agent or the ATO for personalised advice (see disclaimer).

    What we are not

    We are not a registered tax agent, CPA firm, BAS agent, or financial advisory firm. We don't prepare returns, lodge documents with the ATO, or give advice on your specific situation. For that, see a registered tax agent.
