See how Australia Tax Deductions checks pages against official ATO guidance, handles updates, and flags content for manual review.
Last reviewed: 22 March 2026
This page explains the practical review process used before content is refreshed or expanded on Australia Tax Deductions.
How pages are checked
- Check whether an ATO occupation guide exists for the topic.
- If not, use the closest official ATO topic pages as the primary source backbone.
- Review whether the wording stays cautious, plain-English and tied to current work or business activity.
- Flag anything uncertain, highly specific or edge-case heavy for manual review before publishing as settled guidance.
What triggers a manual review
- Eligibility rules that depend heavily on facts and circumstances.
- Examples with dollar values, thresholds or depreciation treatment.
- Occupation-specific edge cases that are not clearly supported by the source set.
- Any wording that starts to sound like personal tax advice.
Freshness signals
- Pages carry a visible review date.
- Pages link back to official sources so readers can compare the wording directly.
- Major tax-year or ATO guidance changes should trigger a content review, not just a cosmetic date change.
