Single Source of Truth
About Money
Most tax tools bolt a calculator on top of spreadsheets or bank exports. Blackgoat takes a different route: it starts with one unified view of your financial life.
Unified Ledger
You can log and categorize income and expenses in one place, whether you're a salaried worker, freelancer, or small business.
AI Parsing
Invoices, receipts, and payroll are treated as part of the same story. AI helps you parse these documents while remembering every correction you make.
Why this matters
From a first‑principles view, this matters because:
- Tax is downstream of reality. If your financial reality is scattered across apps, screenshots, and memory, any tax result is guesswork.
- One shared ledger. A unified view for you, your business, and eventually your government means everyone is, literally, looking at the same book.
If you have a standard Personal Income Tax (PIT) return only (Salary/Employment income, and common reliefs such as Pension, NHF, NHIS, and Life Assurance), you can file seamlessly with Blackgoat Basic. Roughly 65% of Nigerian taxpayers are eligible for this standard filing category.
Examples of situations included in a Standard PIT Return:
- Employment Income (PAYE) from one or more employers
- Interest and Dividends (where WHT is final tax)
- Consolidated Relief Allowance (CRA)
- Pension Contributions (RSA)
- National Housing Fund (NHF) Contributions
- National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) Contributions
- Life Assurance Premiums
- Business Expenses (for specialized Self-Employed filings)
Blackgoat Advanced (for situations not included in Standard Return):
- Complex Capital Gains adjustments
- Foreign Income with double taxation treaty claims
- Complex Trust or Estate income
- Business Income requiring audited financial statements
