Questions From Our Brunswick Clients

Can I claim home office expenses if I work remotely?
Yes. You may be eligible to claim electricity, internet, and a portion of rent or mortgage interest, depending on your setup. The ATO has strict rules, so accurate recordkeeping is key.

Do I need to register my freelance side hustle as a business?
If you’re earning a regular income or providing goods and services, yes. We can guide you on registering an ABN and choosing the right structure.

What can I claim on an investment property?
Interest, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, and property management fees are all common deductions. We help you get it right without overclaiming.

What if I haven’t lodged my tax return in years?
We assist with late lodgements, ATO communication, and setting up payment plans where needed.

Are your accounting fees deductible?
Yes — if you pay an accountant to manage your tax affairs, those fees are deductible in the following financial year.

Can you help with sole trader tax returns?
Yes. Many Brunswick-based sole traders rely on us for help with BAS, GST (if applicable), expense tracking, and tax planning.

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.
