Deduction Grabber review
A free Australian-focused app for recording work expenses and tax-related usage logbooks.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Deduction Grabber is a free mobile app from GoTax for people who want to record work-related expenses and maintain tax-related usage records during the year. Available on iOS and Android, it supports receipt photography, expense details, amounts, categories and notes. Its Australian focus includes a motor vehicle logbook that calculates the work-related vehicle-use percentage, plus logbooks for car, phone, internet and home-office usage. It is aimed at individuals keeping deduction records, rather than teams seeking a shared expense-management system.
The logbooks are the app’s clearest differentiator: users can document several types of work-related usage, while vehicle tracking includes a calculated work-use percentage. Receipt capture and stored expense details keep supporting records together on the phone. Expense categorization is manual, so users should expect to enter and organize details themselves rather than rely on automatic categorization. That makes the app a fit for people who want direct control over recordkeeping, but less suitable for anyone prioritizing automated expense processing.
Deduction Grabber is free, and records can optionally sync with a GoTax account. Its GoTax connection offers a path for users already in that ecosystem, but the app is otherwise a mobile recordkeeping tool with no broader integration set described. GoTax lists email and phone support channels. Choose it if you are an Australian individual who wants receipt capture and several work-use logbooks in a free phone app. Look elsewhere if you need desktop access, automatic categorization or a wider integration ecosystem.
