​Sound familiar?
​Nobody's been taking tax out.
​You're not claiming your gear properly.
​The $75k GST line is coming.
​PAYG instalments turned up out of nowhere.
​Every invoice you've been paid is gross. Come lodgement day, the whole lot lands at once.
​Tools, ute, phone, home office, software. Half of it's sitting in your bank feed unclaimed.
​Cross it without registering and the GST comes out of your pocket, not the customer's.
​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
​Vehicle claims — logbook or cents per kilometre, whichever wins
​Insurance, subscriptions, software and professional fees
​GST registration reviewed against the $75,000 threshold
​Tools, equipment and instant asset write-off where it applies
​Home office, phone and internet split properly
​Super contributions checked so you get the deduction
​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.
​Sole trader pricing.
​Fee agreed before we start. Your return covers both your wages and your ABN income.
​Prices include GST. The fee is deductible next year. Behind a few years? See catch-up pricing.
​How it works.
01
​Send your income.
​Invoices, a bank export or your accounting file — whatever you've got. Ten minutes from the couch.
02
​We find the deductions.
​We go through your spend line by line and claim every bit of gear, travel and running cost you're entitled to.
03
​You approve, we lodge.
​You see the result and next year's set-aside number before anything goes in. One click and it's done.
​Real people, real results.
​A few of the folks we look after around the country.
