Common Questions From Coburg Clients

What tax deductions can I claim as a small business owner?
You can usually claim things like tools, equipment, home office costs, internet, insurance, and more. Every industry has unique deductions, so personalised advice is essential.

I have a rental property in Coburg. What can I claim?
You can claim loan interest, council rates, repairs, property management fees, and depreciation β€” as long as records are accurate and up-to-date.

Do I need to register for GST?
You must register if your business turnover is $75,000 or more. Even if you’re under that threshold, there may be advantages depending on your situation.

Is it worth seeing an accountant if I’m a PAYG employee?
Yes β€” especially if you have work-related deductions, investments, or want to make sure you’re not overpaying tax.

Are accountant fees deductible?
Yes. Fees for managing your tax affairs are deductible in the following year.

Can you help with overdue tax returns?
Yes. We often assist people who have fallen behind on lodgements and need help getting back on track without stress.

Before You Make a Move

Six times you should call us first

Most costly mistakes happen before the paperwork is signed.

01

Buying a vehicle

Structure, FBT, and depreciation all need to be right before you sign.

02

Taking money out

Wages, dividends, or drawings each carry different tax consequences.

03

Buying property

Who buys it changes your GST, land tax, and CGT position entirely.

04

Hiring your first employee

Payroll, super, and STP obligations kick in from day one.

05

Buying or selling a business

You can inherit someone else's tax debt. Know what you're buying first.

06

Taking on a partner

Equity splits need proper structure upfront. A handshake deal costs more to unwind.
