Architecture

Phase 1 (complete): Transaction pipeline

• Ingest: Multi-bank support (ANZ, CBA, Beem, Wise)
• Classify: Rule-based categorization (54 categories)
• Deduce: Percentage-based deductions
• Persist: CSV outputs (transactions, deductions, summary)
• Status: 114 tests, zero lint

Phase 2a (complete): Capital gains core

• FIFO with loss harvesting prioritization
• CGT discount (50% for holdings >365 days)
• Trade ingestion (ingest_trades, ingest_trades_dir)
• Integrated into pipeline
• Status: 29 tests, parity validated vs tax-og

Phase 2b (complete): Bracket-aware deduction optimizer

• Greedy algorithm: allocate to lowest-bracket persons first
• CLI: taxing optimize --fy 25 --persons alice,bob
• Reads Phase 1 outputs (deductions per person)
• Pools and optimally allocates to minimize total tax
• See docs/phase_2b_cli.md
• Status: 8 tests

Phase 3a (complete): Property expense aggregator

• Aggregates rent, water, council, strata from CSV files
• CLI: taxing property --fy 25 --person alice
• PropertyExpensesSummary with category totals
• See docs/phase_3a_property.md
• Status: 19 tests

Phase 3b (complete): Holdings model

• Ticker, units, cost_basis, current_price
• Current value & unrealized gain properties
• Load from holdings.csv
• Supports fractional & large positions
• Status: 18 tests

Phase 2c (complete): Multi-year capital gains planning

• Loss carryforward tracking indefinitely across years
• Realize gains in lowest-bracket years first
• Harvest losses to offset current & future gains
• CLI: taxing gains-plan --projection 25:30%,26:45% --gains [...] --losses [...]
• Status: 18 tests, 205 tests total

Data Model

Money(amount: Decimal, currency: Currency)
Transaction(date, amount, description, source_bank, source_person, category?, is_transfer?)
Trade(date, code, action, units, price, fee, source_person)
Gain(fy, raw_profit, taxable_gain, action)

Type-safe, immutable, no silent bugs. See docs/architecture.md for full details.

Design Principles

• Pure functions: No side effects, testable without I/O
• Immutability: Frozen dataclasses, prevents accidental mutations
• Contracts: Protocols define behavior, tests verify compliance
• No globals: Config passed as arguments
• Agent-friendly: Modular, type-hinted, well-tested

Next Steps

1. Phase 3c: Rental income + depreciation tracking
2. Phase 2d: Advanced constraints (Medicare Levy, HELP, ILP)
3. Phase 3d: Portfolio rebalancing optimization
