Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is Lodgya?
Lodgya is an Australian income and expense tracker for tax time. It has three trackers (Property for investment properties, Personal for individual income tax, and Business for sole traders) so you can log income, deductions and receipts all year and export a clean report for your tax return or accountant.
How much does Lodgya cost?
There is a free plan with up to 10 entries per module. The car logbook is free for one vehicle, with unlimited trips. Lodgya Personal is $4.95 AUD per month and covers the Personal tracker. Lodgya Pro is $9.95 AUD per month and covers Property, Personal and Business. There are no lock-in contracts and you can cancel anytime.
Who is Lodgya for?
Lodgya is for Australian residential property investors, employees and individuals claiming work-related deductions, and sole traders who want their records organised by financial year (1 July to 30 June) before they lodge or hand them to a tax agent.
Does Lodgya lodge my tax return?
No. Lodgya is a record-keeping tool. It keeps your income, expenses and receipts organised and produces a tax report you can use to lodge through myTax or give to your registered tax agent. It does not provide tax advice.
Can I track rental property depreciation and borrowing costs?
Yes. The Property tracker records rental income and expenses per property and automatically spreads amortised items across financial years, such as capital works (Div 43, 40 years) and borrowing expenses (5 years or the loan term).
Does Lodgya handle GST and BAS for sole traders?
Yes. If your business is registered for GST, the Business tracker shows a BAS summary of GST collected and GST paid for each period.
Does Lodgya have a car logbook?
Yes. The Vehicle logbook records business and private trips, works out your business-use percentage from a 12-week logbook period, and feeds vehicle expenses into your Personal or Business records. It is free for one vehicle. See Lodgya Logbook.
Can I use Lodgya on my phone?
Yes. Lodgya runs in any modern browser and can be installed to your iPhone or Android home screen, so you can snap and attach receipts as you go.
Is my financial data sold or shared?
No. Your records are yours. Lodgya never sells or shares your data with third parties.
