Frequently Asked Questions from Essendon Clients

Do I need an accountant if I’m a PAYG employee?
Yes. Most people can benefit from personalised advice, especially if you have deductions to claim like car use, uniforms, home office, or investment expenses.

I work from home part of the week. Can I claim anything?
Yes. The ATO allows for a fixed rate method or actual cost method for claiming work-from-home expenses like electricity, phone, and internet.

What can sole traders in Essendon claim?
Sole traders can claim expenses related to their business such as tools, software, home office use, travel, and phone usage. Keeping accurate records is key.

I have an investment property. Can you help with tax deductions?
Absolutely. We assist with claiming depreciation, interest on loans, council rates, insurance, maintenance costs, and more — all in line with ATO guidelines.

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

How do I reduce my taxable income legally?
Some common methods include contributing to superannuation, timing deductible expenses, and investing strategically. Tailored advice is best.
