Latitude Accountants helps individuals and business owners across Melbourne — including St Kilda — make sense of their obligations and plan for a stronger financial future.

Why St Kilda Locals Choose Professional Accounting Help

St Kilda’s mix of entrepreneurs, creatives, investors, and consultants means financial advice needs to be flexible and practical. Here’s what our clients often ask for support with:

• Maximising personal tax returns

   

• Lodging BAS and understanding GST

   

• Setting up the right business structure

   

• Managing tax on investment properties

   

• Planning super contributions

   

• Getting clear on deductions and offsets

Questions We Commonly Get From St Kilda Clients

Can I claim my rent or mortgage if I work from home?
You may be able to claim a portion of your home-related costs, such as electricity and internet. But rent or mortgage interest is generally not claimable unless part of your home is set aside exclusively for business and you meet specific criteria.

Do freelancers need to register for GST?
Only if your annual turnover exceeds $75,000. But even below that, it might be worth discussing depending on your industry and clients.

Are investment property losses tax-deductible?
Yes. Negative gearing, interest, maintenance, depreciation, and more can be claimed if done properly.

What if I forgot to include income in last year’s return?
We can help correct prior returns and reduce the risk of ATO penalties by acting early.

Is accountant advice tax-deductible?
Yes. Fees paid to a registered tax agent for managing your tax affairs are deductible in the following financial year.
