ABN income? Sorted.
Side hustle, contractor or full-time on the tools — we do your sole trader return, claim the gear you've actually paid for, and tell you what to put aside next year.
One return covers your wages and your ABN income. No second fee.
Sound familiar?
Nobody's been taking tax out.
Every invoice you've been paid is gross. Come lodgement day, the whole lot lands at once.
You're not claiming your gear properly.
Tools, ute, phone, home office, software. Half of it's sitting in your bank feed unclaimed.
The $75k GST line is coming.
Cross it without registering and the GST comes out of your pocket, not the customer's.
PAYG instalments turned up out of nowhere.
The ATO started asking for tax quarterly and nobody explained why or how much.
What's in a sole trader return.
Your personal return and your business schedule, prepared together by a registered tax agent.
- Business income schedule built from your invoices or bank feed
- Tools, equipment and instant asset write-off where it applies
- Vehicle claims — logbook or cents per kilometre, whichever wins
- Home office, phone and internet split properly
- Insurance, subscriptions, software and professional fees
- Super contributions checked so you get the deduction
- GST registration reviewed against the $75,000 threshold
- PAYG instalments explained, with a number to put aside each week
The $75,000 line, in plain English.
The single thing that catches most sole traders out — and the one number that decides whether you're keeping 100% of an invoice or handing 10% of it back.
Under $75,000
No GST registration needed. Keep an eye on your rolling 12-month turnover, not the financial year.
Heading for $75,000
You must register within 21 days of expecting to cross it. We watch it for you and handle the registration.
Registered
You charge 10% on top, claim GST back on your gear, and lodge a BAS each quarter. We can do those too.
What to put aside
Rule of thumb for most sole traders: 25–30% of every payment into a separate account. We give you your real number.
