Lawg for business owners

AI tax research for business owners

Go to your accountant with a clearer question.

Selling an asset, changing how your business operates or receiving a tax letter can leave you unsure where to start. Use Lawg to explore the terms, gather the relevant information and prepare questions for your accountant or tax adviser.

In your work

Make the first conversation easier to prepare

Start with what you know about the business and the question you want to ask. Use the research to prepare for advice before making a tax decision.

01

Understand the terms in a tax question

Ask for a plain-language explanation of unfamiliar tax terms and why they may matter to the question you will take to your accountant.

Example research prompt
My accountant mentioned capital gains tax when we discussed selling a business asset. Explain the term in plain English and suggest questions I should ask them about my situation. Do not assume the outcome.
For your adviser discussion

A starting explanation and questions to discuss with your accountant.

02

Gather information before the appointment

Prepare a practical checklist of facts and records your adviser may need. Check what applies to your circumstances and ask them what else to bring.

Example research prompt
I am planning to sell a business asset. Help me list the dates, amounts, ownership details and documents to gather for my accountant before they assess the Australian tax treatment.
For your adviser discussion

A preparation checklist to confirm with your adviser.

03

Turn a concern into a useful question

Organise what happened, what you do not understand and any deadlines into a short summary you can review before sharing with your accountant.

Example research prompt
Help me prepare questions for my accountant about a tax letter using this general description. List the facts and dates to confirm and the points to raise, without deciding how I should respond.
For your adviser discussion

A short discussion guide for getting professional advice.

Example prompts show research tasks, not completed results. Answers depend on the facts supplied and the sources available.

How Lawg supports source review

Before you start

Questions from business owners

Check the fit for your work, then explore Lawg with a focused question.

Do I need to know tax terminology to start?

You can describe what happened or what you are planning in your own words and ask for a plain-language explanation. Check unfamiliar terms and any generated explanation with your accountant before relying on them.

Is Lawg a substitute for my accountant?

Lawg is built for Australian tax research by accountants and advisers. This page focuses on general explanations and preparing for an adviser discussion. It does not provide personalised tax advice or determine your tax liability. Have your accountant assess your complete circumstances before acting.

What business information should I share?

Start with a general description and leave out personal identifiers or sensitive details where possible. Before providing documents, check that you have permission and review the current privacy terms. Share only what is needed for the question.

Have your accountant or tax adviser assess your circumstances and check the research before you act. All outputs require professional review before filing, client use or responding to the ATO. Lawg does not guarantee ATO acceptance or any audit outcome.

Before providing client or business information, check your authority and read Security & data handling, the Privacy Policy and Terms.
