Review Methodology

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.
