| Date | Source | Description | AUD |
|------|--------|------------|-----|
| 4 Dec 2025 | CC | Msft * E0700yc5nb | $651.42 |

**Note:** Large amount — may be annual billing or multiple licenses. Verify what this covers.

### Stripe (Direct Debits from BTA — GoComply payment processing)

| Date | Source | Description | AUD |
|------|--------|------------|-----|
| 9 Jul 2025 | BTA | STRIPE Direct Debit | $121.45 |

**Note:** Stripe debits are payment processing fees, not R&D. However, Stripe credits (revenue) appear regularly — these confirm GoComply is a commercial product, supporting the "not internal administration" argument.

### Other Potentially Claimable from BTA

| Date | Source | Description | AUD | R&D Relevance |
|------|--------|------------|-----|---------------|
| 9 Jun 2025 | BTA | Apple.com/Bill | $4.49 | Apple Developer Program? |

## SALARY / CONTRACTOR PAYMENTS (from Business Transaction Account)

These are transfers FROM Inferno Tech TO Pranjal Gupta — evidence of director compensation:

| Date | Description | Amount | Label |
|------|------------|--------|-------|
| 19 Jun 2025 | Transfer To P P Gupta - Salary | $3,000 | Salary |
| 20 Jun 2025 | Transfer To P P Gupta - Salary | $3,000 | Salary |
| 21 Jun 2025 | Transfer To P P Gupta - Loan2self | $8,415 | Loan |
| 4 Jul 2025 | Transfer To P P Gupta - Loan2self | $15,000 | Loan |
| 6 Jun 2025 | Transfer To P P Gupta - Loan2Self | $9,000 | Loan |

**CRITICAL FOR R&D CLAIM:** These transfers show Inferno Tech DOES pay Pranjal Gupta. The $20,000 R&D contractor claim is consistent with this established payment pattern. However, the "Salary" and "Loan2self" labels need to be reviewed by Rohana — the R&D contractor payment should be specifically labelled and invoiced as R&D work.

## REVENUE SOURCES (from Business Transaction Account)

| Source | Frequency | Typical Amount | Description |
|--------|-----------|---------------|-------------|
| SYNECHRON AUSTRA | Monthly | $7,480-$10,285 | Contracting income (INV series) |
| KELLY OCG AUSTRA | Weekly | $5,887.20 | Contracting income |
| STRIPE | Periodic | $16-67 | GoComply product revenue |
| Adjust Purchase ADJ | Monthly | $25.00 | Card adjustments |

**Note:** Synechron and Kelly OCG are contracting clients — this is Pranjal's consulting income flowing through Inferno Tech. Stripe credits confirm GoComply is generating revenue (even if small), supporting the "commercial product" characterisation.

---

## CONTRACTOR INVOICES SENT TO ROHANA (from Spark sent emails)

31 invoices found in sent folder with these prefixes:

| Prefix | Count | Likely Client |
|--------|-------|---------------|
| INV####T | 14 | Client "T" (possibly contracting) |
| INV####PTM | 11 | Client "PTM" (possibly contracting) |
| INV####W | 10 | Client "W" (possibly contracting) |

**These are invoices FROM Inferno Tech TO clients** (not expenses). They document Pranjal's contracting work billed through the company. Rohana already has these for GST/BAS purposes.

## ATO PAYMENTS (from Business Transaction Account)

| Date | Description | Amount |
|------|------------|--------|
| 1 May | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 8 May | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 12 May | TAX OFFICE - Income tax | $1,396.45 |
| 15 May | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 22 May | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 28 May | TAX OFFICE - GST | $5,390.00 |
| 30 May | TAX OFFICE - GST | $6,367.00 |
| 29 May | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 5 Jun | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 12 Jun | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 18 Jun | TAX OFFICE - Income tax | $11,204.50 |
| 18 Jun | Crown Tax and Accounting Services | $1,980.00 |
| 19 Jun | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |
| 26 Jun | ATO Direct Debit | $62.76 |

**Note:** The $1,980 payment to "Crown Tax and Accounting Services" on 18 Jun — is this Rohana's firm? This is the accountant fee, which itself may be partially claimable as R&D expenditure (for R&D tax preparation).

## GAPS & ACTIONS FOR ROHANA

1. **Missing CC statements:** Jul 2025 Claude charge not visible — was it on a different card?
2. **Two ChatGPT subscriptions?** Charges appear on both BTA (card xx5487) and CC — verify if two accounts or one migrated
3. **Microsoft $651.42** — What is this? Annual M365? Azure? Need to identify for R&D classification
4. **Cloudflare billing frequency** — Only 1 charge found. Monthly/quarterly/annual?
5. **Crown Tax $1,980** — Is this Rohana's firm? Partially claimable for R&D tax preparation
6. **Create R&D contractor invoice** — Separate from existing Salary transfers
7. **SerpApi** — Not on bank statements (may be on Amex card xx1007 — verify)
8. **Feb-Jun 2026 statements** — Download as they become available
