Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, or using the InspiredTax mobile application ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the App.
Non-Affiliation and Official Status
InspiredTax is an independently developed application. We are strictly not affiliated with, authorized by, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected to the South African Revenue Service (SARS) or any government entity. The App is not an official tax submission tool and cannot be used to file returns via SARS eFiling.
Nature of the Service and Accuracy
InspiredTax provides calculators designed to assist users in estimating individual income tax, capital gains tax, provisional tax, and travel allowances based on South African tax frameworks.
- Estimations Only: All results generated by the App are purely estimates.
- No Tax Advice: The App does not provide professional tax, legal, or financial advice.
- No Guarantee of Accuracy: While we strive to base our algorithms on current tax legislation (such as the 2026/2027 assessment year parameters), tax laws are complex and subject to change. We do not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any calculations or outputs.
User Responsibility
You acknowledge that you use the App at your own risk. It is your sole responsibility to:
- Verify any calculations or estimates produced by the App with a qualified tax professional or directly against official SARS documentation before making financial decisions.
- Ensure the accuracy of the data you input into the App.
- Fulfill your legal obligations regarding tax declarations and submissions directly through official SARS channels.
Privacy and Data Storage
InspiredTax is built with privacy by design. The App keeps your financial data on your device and does not send it to external servers. On Android it contacts Google only for your free trial and for Google Play purchases, and if you turn on Android's own backup, the operating system may copy an encrypted snapshot of your data to your Google account. Any financial or personal data you input remains stored locally on your device. Consequently, if you lose your device or uninstall the App without a backup, your data cannot be recovered by us. How the App handles your data is set out in full in our Privacy policy.
Subscriptions and the Free Trial
- Free trial: a 7-day free trial of Premium starts when you sign in with Google, once per Google account. No payment details are needed and the trial does not turn into a paid plan.
- Billing: Premium plans are sold and billed by Google Play under Google Play's terms. The price is shown in the App and by Google Play before you pay.
- Renewal and cancelling: monthly and annual plans renew automatically until you cancel in Google Play (Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions). Cancelling stops the next renewal; Premium stays on until the end of the period you paid for. Prepaid plans are paid once and do not renew.
- Refunds are handled by Google Play under its refund policy.
- Your data: nothing is deleted when Premium ends — Premium screens lock until you subscribe again, and your figures stay on your device.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable South African law, InspiredTax, its developers, and its affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the App. This includes, but is not limited to, financial loss, penalties, interest, or audits incurred due to reliance on the App's calculations.
Modifications to the App and Terms
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the App (or any part thereof) at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms of Service periodically. Continued use of the App following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.
