In July 2018, some of Airtasker's Australian data may have been compromised in a Typeform data breach.[14] In December 2018, the Australian Taxation Office audited Airtasker and requested the repayment of Research and Development rebates.[15] Bidding processThe Airtasker process begins when a user posts a job they need completed, setting a suggested payment as well as any details needed to make a decision. Other users can post their interest in completing the task along with their own suggestion on the payment amount. The user who posted the task can make a decision on whom to award the task based on the applicant's profile, task history and ratings. Once this decision is made, the Airtasker platform allows private communication and payment to be made between the parties.[16] It is free for users and applicants to join Airtasker; however, once a task is successfully completed and paid, there is a 10-20% commission charged to the applicant per task.[17] Airtasker has obtained insurance cover via CGU that provides up to $10 million cover to protect Taskers registered in the Airtasker marketplace for their liability to third parties, for personal injury or property damage, when performing a task. [18] Investment and resultsIn April 2012, Airtasker raised AUD $1.5 million, acquired 45,000 users and processed AUD $1 million in Australian jobs (two months after launch).[19] By November 2013 the company had raised a further AUD $2 million for a total of $3.5 million in funds raised,[20] valuing the company at AUD $10 million.[21] In February 2013, Airtasker acquired competitor TaskBox[22]. In July 2014, Airtasker acquired Melbourne-based odd jobs outsourcing business Occasional Butler[23] and claimed to have 130,000 community members and an annual task run rate of over $4 million. In May 2015, Airtasker raised $6.5 million in a round led by Shanghai-based Morning Crest Capital and the NRMA. Airtasker claimed to have 250,000 users and to process $15 million worth of tasks a year[24]. In June 2016, Airtasker raised $22 million in a series B investment led by Seven West Media for a 15% stake.[25]. Airtasker claimed to have 600,000 community members and more than $40m annual transaction volume. In October 2017, Airtasker raised $33 million to enable the company to expand to Britain[26]. In June 2018, there were about 2,000,000 users[27].
