⚠️ Important — Please read this before using TaxSmart
TaxSmart is an AI-powered tax estimation tool for informational purposes only. It is NOT a substitute for professional tax advice from a qualified Chartered Accountant. Always verify all figures and consult a CA before filing your Income Tax Return.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using TaxSmart ("the Service", "we", "our") at vedant4557-dev.github.io/taxai/ or any associated domains, you ("User", "you") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
2. Nature of the Service
TaxSmart provides:
AI-powered extraction of data from uploaded tax documents (Form 16, Form 26AS, AIS)
Estimation of income tax liability under Old and New Regime for FY 2025–26
Identification of potential errors and mismatches in tax documents
Educational information about Indian income tax provisions
TaxSmart does not provide legal advice, chartered accountancy services, or guaranteed-accurate tax calculations. All outputs are estimates based on information you provide.
3. AI Accuracy Disclaimer
Critical limitation — AI may make errors
Our AI (powered by Google Gemini) may misread, misinterpret, or incorrectly extract values from your documents — particularly scanned PDFs, rotated documents, handwritten documents, or non-standard Form 16 formats. You are responsible for verifying all extracted values before relying on them.
TaxSmart, its creators, and its operators accept no liability for:
Incorrect tax calculations resulting from AI extraction errors
Wrong regime recommendations due to incorrect input data
Penalties, interest, or notices from the Income Tax Department arising from reliance on TaxSmart outputs
Any financial loss resulting from decisions made based on TaxSmart estimates
4. Data Processing & Privacy
We take your privacy seriously. When you upload documents:
Your PDF documents are transmitted securely (HTTPS/TLS) to our backend server
Documents are processed in memory and are not written to disk or stored permanently
Documents are automatically deleted from our servers after AI extraction is complete
We do not sell, share, or monetise your personal or financial data
We do not use your documents to train AI models
By uploading documents, you consent to this processing under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act). Your data qualifies as Sensitive Personal Information under the Indian IT Act 2000 and is treated accordingly.
5. Your Responsibilities
You must verify all AI-extracted values against your original documents
You must not upload documents belonging to other persons without their explicit consent
You must not use TaxSmart for any illegal purpose
You are solely responsible for your final ITR filing and any consequences thereof
You must consult a qualified CA for complex tax situations (capital gains, business income, foreign assets, etc.)
6. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Indian law, TaxSmart and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, including but not limited to tax penalties, interest charges, or income tax notices.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
7. Tax Law Changes
Indian tax law changes frequently. TaxSmart attempts to reflect current provisions for FY 2025–26 but may not reflect the most recent amendments, circulars, or notifications from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). Always verify applicable rates and provisions at incometax.gov.in.
8. Third-Party Services
TaxSmart uses Google Gemini (AI processing) and Render (backend hosting). Your documents are transmitted to these services during processing. By using TaxSmart, you also agree to Google's and Render's applicable terms.
9. Intellectual Property
All content, code, design, and features of TaxSmart are the intellectual property of the creator. You may not copy, reproduce, or redistribute any part of the Service without written permission.
10. Governing Law & Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of courts in New Delhi, India.
11. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
