Welcome to AccountingDiary.com (“Accounting Diary”, “we”, “our”, or “us”).
These Terms of Use govern your access to and use of AccountingDiary.com, including its articles, guides, educational materials, courses, downloads, tools, templates, and other content.
By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use.
If you do not agree with these terms, please do not use the website.

- accounting;
- bookkeeping;
- taxation;
- Goods and Services Tax (GST);
- Business Activity Statements (BAS);

- related professional and educational topics.
Our aim is to explain accounting and taxation concepts in a simple and practical way.
2. Educational Information Only
The information published on AccountingDiary.com is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.
Nothing on this website should be treated as personalised:
- accounting advice;
- taxation advice;
- financial advice;
- legal advice;
- investment advice; or
- other professional advice.
Accounting and taxation rules can be complex and may change over time. The correct treatment may also depend on your individual circumstances.
You should obtain appropriate professional advice before making decisions based on information published on this website.
3. No Accountant-Client Relationship
Accessing AccountingDiary.com, reading our articles, subscribing to our newsletter, downloading resources, or communicating with us does not by itself create an accountant-client, tax adviser-client, financial adviser-client, lawyer-client, or other professional relationship.
A professional relationship will arise only where it is separately and expressly agreed between the relevant parties.
4. Accuracy of Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide useful and accurate information.
However, accounting standards, taxation laws, government policies, thresholds, rates, reporting requirements, software, and administrative practices can change.
We therefore do not guarantee that every article or resource will always be:
- complete;
- current;
- error-free; or
- applicable to your particular circumstances.
An article may also remain available after the law or administrative practice discussed in it has changed.
Where a matter is important to your business, taxation position, finances, or legal obligations, you should verify the current requirements with the relevant authority or a suitably qualified professional.

AccountingDiary.com may contain substantial educational material relating to Australian taxation, GST, BAS, payroll, bookkeeping, and accounting.
References may be made to organisations and regulatory bodies such as the Australian Taxation Office and other Australian government or professional organisations.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Accounting Diary is an independent educational website.
Reference to a government department, professional body, accounting standard, software provider, business, or other organisation does not imply that Accounting Diary is affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with that organisation.
6. Professional and Government Sources
Our educational content may refer to legislation, taxation rulings, accounting standards, government publications, court decisions, professional guidance, and other external sources.
Where appropriate, readers should refer to the original and most recent authoritative source before relying on the information.
