Common Questions From Thomastown Clients

What deductions can I claim as a sole trader?
You may be eligible to claim expenses like tools, travel, equipment, mobile phone use, home office costs and more β€” provided they directly relate to earning your income and you have the records to prove it.

Is GST registration required for my business?
If your annual turnover is $75,000 or more, you’re required to register for GST. If you earn under that threshold, you can still register voluntarily depending on your goals.

Can I claim accountant fees on my tax return?
Yes, fees paid to a registered tax agent for managing your tax affairs are deductible in the following financial year.

I’ve received a letter from the ATO β€” what now?
ATO correspondence can be confusing, but we can help explain what it means and what action (if any) you need to take. We can also help you stay compliant or deal with any late returns.

What are the tax implications of owning a rental property?
You must declare all rental income and can usually claim things like interest on loans, depreciation, repairs, and council rates.

Do I need a business structure, or should I stay a sole trader?
This depends on your risk profile, income level, and goals. We can help you understand the pros and cons of structures like companies, partnerships, or trusts.

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.
