Use when researching an Australian tax question for a file note or draft advice: frame the question, verify each primary source and its status for the period, record alternative views and write a review-ready research file note.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Tax research file note

## Inputs

The question in the client's or requester's words, the established facts with the evidence for each, the entity type, the income year or event date the answer applies to, any earlier file note or advice on the same issue, and the firm's research and review policy.

## Workflow

1. Frame one answerable question before searching. Name the entity type, the income year or event date, the facts the answer turns on and the provision or topic in issue. List every fact not yet established. Where a missing fact could change the answer, ask for it and never assume it. If it stays unavailable, carry on with the parts the established facts support, record it under `facts_not_established` and keep every conclusion that depends on it conditional.

2. Read the operative law first. Open the provision on the Federal Register of Legislation in the compilation in force for the period, and record the compilation number and date. Read the definitions it relies on and any commencement, application or transitional provision. Note a later compilation or an uncommenced amendment; do not apply it to an earlier period.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ryanduguid/australian-accounting-skills/au-tax-research@sha256:cbe04f2e5490696c

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.edcbaa9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
