What Tradies Ask Before They Switch Accountants
Can I claim my ute, my tools and my phone?
Yes, when used for the business. Ute under 1 tonne carrying capacity uses the cents-per-km or logbook method. Over 1 tonne (most dual-cab trade utes), 100% commercial use deduction applies. Tools, phone, internet and protective gear are deductible in the business portion. Instant asset write-off thresholds change each year, we apply the current rule.
I have 3 years of unlodged tax returns. Can you fix it?
Yes. We handle late-lodged returns every week. We will lodge the oldest first, then the rest in sequence. Most clients clear their backlog within 60 days. If you have a debt with the ATO we will negotiate a payment plan as part of the process.
Should I be a sole trader or Pty Ltd?
Generally if you earn under ~$80k as a tradie, sole trader is cheaper to run. Over that, or once you take on staff, a Pty Ltd saves tax and protects personal assets. We will run the maths on your numbers before you commit to a structure.
Do I need a bookkeeper as well as you?
No. Our Platinum tier includes monthly bookkeeping, BAS and payroll. One firm, one fee. If you already have a bookkeeper you trust, we will work alongside them on tax and end-of-year only.
Do you work with FIFO tradies in WA mines?
Yes, we have a separate Mining & FIFO Accountants WA page with the specifics on zone offsets, LAFHA and remote-work claims.
