You can also claim a deduction for any contributions you make towards your superannuation.

We recommend having a chat with us so you can get maximum claims and refunds.

How To Pay Tax As a Sole Trader

During your first year as a sole trader, we recommend keeping aside 30% of all earnings for tax purposes.

As a sole trader, failing to budget for tax time can restrict your cash flow when you need to pay tax.

After this first time paying tax as a sole trader, the ATO will determine your PAYG installments.

If you get a tax bill from the ATO, you can call and ask to be put onto a payment plan. This is an excellent idea to help keep a positive cash flow.

Most working Aussies by law need to lodge a tax return every year. A tax return is a ‘form’ you can complete online, on paper or get a tax agent to help you with, that tells the ATO how much money (income) you earn. They use this information to check if you have paid enough tax or too much, if you need to pay the Medicare levy or surcharge, or if you qualify for any tax offsets (for example, the low and middle income tax offsets). If you pay more tax than you need to, the ATO (via us) will refund the extra amount to you (this is known as a tax refund). If you don’t pay enough tax then you may receive a tax bill. Try our tax calculator to get an idea of how much you could get.

You need to lodge a tax return to claim a refund. The best and more popular way of doing this is to use a Registered Tax Agent who will teach you about tax and give you the best result. You can also do your tax directly with the ATO. But he ATO exists for one reason – to collect money for the government. Tax income is important for the economy. But millions of Aussies pay more tax than they need to for one simple reason. They receive poor or inadequate advice. We don’t work for the government. We work for you. Our job is to get you the best refund or reduce your tax bill.

If you earned Australian income between 1 July and 30 June in any given year, then its likley you need to lodge a tax return. (And its always worth lodging a return to see if you’re due a refund). More specifically, you’re required to lodge a tax return if tax was deducted from payments made to you (ie wages), or you are an Australian resident and your taxable income exceeded the tax-free threshold (over $18,200) or if you are a foreign resident and you earned more than $1 in Australia. Its also likley you’ll need to do a tax return if you are leaving Australia permanently or you are leaving Australia for more than a year. Even if these dont apply there are still circumstances under which you are required to lodge a return. Best to check with us as we do this as a free service.

A sole trader is an individual running a business so a sole trader business structure is taxed as part of your own personal income. This means sole traders are taxed on a sliding scale and the amount of tax you pay increases as your business income grows. As a sole trader you can’t claim deductions for money ‘drawn’ from the business. Amounts taken from the business are not wages for tax purposes, even if you think of them as wages.

Quite simply, you need to lodge a tax return. If you need to pay tax your Registered Tax Agent (like us) will let you know how much to pay and where to pay. You can prepare for your sole trader tax return by making pre-payments into your tax bill account, putting funds aside throughout the year in anticipation of your expected tax bill or you can voluntarily pay tax in instalments. We can help with setting this up for you.

There are many tax deductions that can be claimed when you’re a sole trader. It takes a tax pro to know them all as they depend on many factors. In general your car can be your biggest work-tool and claimable expense, others are tools & equipment, other travel, self education, advertising, insurance, bank fees, union fees, legals, repairs, software, hoe office, clothing and laundry, boots, sunglasses, sunscreen and money others depending on your job. Let us help identify them all for you to get the best result year end.
