FAQ
Questions Australian tax agents ask first.
Short, honest answers about scope, lodgement and security.
What is Cassandra Tax?
Cassandra Tax is Australian tax practice management software for Registered Tax Agents. It manages the full return lifecycle — client and entity groups, official-form-informed return preparation, evidence-based review, e-signatures and SBR lodgement workflows — in one workspace.
Which Australian tax forms does it support?
The catalogue includes workflows and entries for Individual, Company, Trust, Partnership and SMSF income tax returns, BAS/IAS activity statements, FBT, TPAR, STP and selected schedules. Runtime availability and validation coverage vary by product and tax year, so confirm the relevant workflow before relying on it.
Does Cassandra Tax lodge directly with the ATO?
It includes SBR transport, MAS-ST authentication and ATO-taxonomy handling, with an in-product readiness and EVTE diagnostic-results view. A practice should transmit only after completing its applicable ATO/DSP onboarding and configuring approved credentials; the Trust Center separates local test evidence from external approval.
Who can use it?
Cassandra Tax is for Registered Tax Agents and their practice teams. Account creation captures a Tax Agent Registration Number; each practice remains responsible for confirming its eligibility and authority before using any configured lodgement capability.
How is sensitive client data protected?
TFNs, ABNs, bank details and MFA secrets are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM, access is role-based and multi-tenant isolated, all activity is recorded in a 7-year audit trail, and multi-factor authentication is mandatory. The Trust Center publishes the current control and approval boundaries.
How much does Cassandra Tax cost?
Plans start at $149/month for launch firms, with Practice and Scale tiers for growing and multi-partner practices. Pricing on this page uses the same plan definitions as the product billing configuration.
