Important information about the limitations of Lodgya as a record-keeping tool and what it is not.
Last updated: 6 October 2026
Lodgya is not a registered tax agent under the Tax Agent Services Act 2009 (TASA) and does not provide tax agent services. Nothing in Lodgya constitutes tax advice. You should consult a registered tax agent before lodging any tax return.
Lodgya is not a registered BAS agent. GST summaries and BAS figures generated by Lodgya Business are estimates based on user-entered data only. Always have your BAS reviewed and lodged by a registered BAS agent.
Nothing in Lodgya constitutes financial advice or a financial product recommendation. Estimated tax liabilities, net positions, and other financial figures shown are indicative only and should not be relied upon for investment or financial planning decisions.
All calculations in Lodgya — including estimated income tax, Medicare levy, depreciation estimates, GST calculations, and mileage deductions — are based solely on data you enter and apply simplified rules. They may not reflect your actual tax position. Tax law is complex and individual circumstances vary significantly.
ATO rates, thresholds, and rules (including the cents-per-km rate, tax-free threshold, Medicare levy rate, and Division 40/43 depreciation rules) change from time to time. Lodgya may not reflect the most current rates. Always verify rates with the ATO or your tax agent.
The depreciation calculator in Lodgya Property provides estimates based on standard ATO effective life tables and simplified diminishing value calculations. The ATO recommends engaging a qualified Quantity Surveyor to prepare a formal depreciation schedule. Lodgya's estimates are not a substitute for a professional depreciation report.
Lodgya reports and summaries are only as accurate as the data you enter. Lodgya does not verify, audit, or independently confirm any transaction data. You are solely responsible for ensuring that the data you enter is correct, complete, and properly categorised.
Your records are stored on your device by default. Lodgya also offers optional encrypted cloud backup: your records are encrypted on your device with a passphrase you choose before they are uploaded, so Lodgya cannot read them, reset your passphrase, or recover your cloud backups if you lose both your passphrase and your recovery code. Cloud backup is an additional safeguard, not a guarantee. Keep your own backup files as well.
Lodgya is provided "as is" without any warranty of accuracy, completeness, or fitness for purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Lodgya accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your reliance on any figure, report, or calculation generated by the Service.
Before lodging any tax return, BAS, or making financial decisions based on Lodgya data, you should seek advice from:
