ATO Rate Scraping Skill
Extracts current tax rates, thresholds, and benchmarks from official Australian government sources. Uses Jina AI Reader API to convert ATO web pages into structured rate data with full provenance tracking.
When to Use
- Validating that cached tax rates match current ATO publications
- Detecting quarterly fuel tax credit rate changes
- Confirming annual rate updates (Div 7A benchmark, SG rate, FBT rates)
- Verifying IAWO threshold after federal budget announcements
- Populating rate tables for new financial years
- Cross-checking rate fallback values in analysis engines
Scraping Method
Use the Jina AI Reader API to fetch and parse ATO pages:
curl "https://r.jina.ai/https://www.ato.gov.au/[rate-page-path]" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $JINA_API_KEY"The Jina Reader converts pages to clean markdown, stripping navigation and ads. Rate tables are preserved as markdown tables for structured extraction.

Extraction Process
1. Fetch page via Jina AI Reader API 2. Locate rate table by searching for known headers (e.g., "Taxable income", "Rate per litre") 3. Parse markdown table into structured key-value pairs 4. Validate extracted values against expected ranges:
- Tax rates: 0-100%
- Dollar thresholds: > 0
- Interest rates: 0-20%
- Fuel credit rates: $0.00-$1.00 per litre
5. Compare against cached values in lib/tax-data/cache-manager.ts 6. Record provenance: source URL, extraction timestamp, financial year, effective date
Validation Rules
| Rate Type | Expected Range | Red Flag If |
|---|---|---|
| Corporate Tax Rate | 25-30% | < 20% or > 35% |
| R&D Offset | 35-50% | < 30% or > 55% |
| Div 7A Benchmark | 4-12% | < 2% or > 15% |
| SG Rate | 9-15% | < 9% or > 15% |
| FBT Rate | 45-50% | < 40% or > 55% |
| Fuel Credit (per litre) | $0.05-$0.80 | < $0.01 or > $1.00 |
| IAWO Threshold | $1,000-$200,000 | < $1,000 or > $500,000 |
| Medicare Levy | 1-3% | < 1% or > 5% |
Values outside expected ranges should be flagged for manual verification before cache update.

- Always verify extracted rates against expected ranges before updating cache
- Never auto-update rates that fall outside expected ranges — flag for manual review
- Log every scrape with full provenance for audit trail (AD-5)
- Respect rate limits on ATO.gov.au — maximum 1 request per 10 seconds
- Cache Jina responses for 15 minutes to avoid redundant scrapes
- FY attribution is mandatory — every rate must specify which financial year it applies to
- Fallback values must remain in engine code for resilience — scraping augments, not replaces
