Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an accountant if I’m a sole trader?
Technically, you can handle your own tax and bookkeeping — but it often takes time away from running your business. A professional accountant helps ensure accuracy, maximises your deductions, keeps you compliant, and prevents costly ATO errors. Most sole traders find an accountant actually saves them money in the long run.
What accounting services do sole traders in Western Australia need?
As a sole trader in WA, you typically need bookkeeping, BAS lodgment, income tax returns, and compliance support. Depending on your business size, payroll and GST reporting may also apply. At KSH Tax, we tailor our accounting services to suit your specific situation — ensuring you meet ATO requirements without paying for extras you don’t need.
How does tax work for sole traders in Australia?
Sole traders are taxed as individuals — your business income is added to your personal income. You’ll need to keep accurate records of income and expenses, lodge a yearly tax return, and possibly submit quarterly BAS statements if you’re registered for GST. We help you stay compliant and find every deduction you’re legally entitled to.
Do I need to register for GST as a sole trader?
You must register for GST if your annual turnover exceeds $75,000. Even if you’re below that threshold, registering can sometimes be beneficial depending on your industry. We can help you assess whether GST registration is right for your situation and handle all the setup and lodgment for you.
Can you help me set up my new sole trader business?
Absolutely. We assist with ABN registration, business name registration, and initial ATO setup. We’ll also guide you on record-keeping, tax obligations, and software options so your business starts off on the right foot from day one.
What can I claim as tax deductions as a sole trader?
You can typically claim deductions for business-related expenses such as tools, equipment, home office costs, vehicle use, internet, and insurance — as long as they directly relate to earning your income. We help identify all eligible deductions to ensure you never pay more tax than necessary.
How often should I do my bookkeeping as a sole trader?
Ideally, bookkeeping should be done weekly or monthly to avoid errors and last-minute stress. Regular updates ensure you always know your cash flow and can make better business decisions. We offer ongoing bookkeeping support so your accounts are always up to date and ready for tax time.
