Not being paranoid or anything but we were curious about the skills of the latest innovation to take the world by storm, ChatGPT, and
its ability to work with the Australian tax system.
Let’s start by saying that we were impressed. Not so much by ChatGPT’s ability to work with the complexities of the tax

And with most technical commentary tied up in personal advice rather than on the web where ChatGPT can explore it, it is unlikely that
we will get there any time soon.
