When you’re a business owner, it can be hard to know exactly what to claim – and what not to claim – as a tax deduction. The Australian tax system doesn’t help, with some complicated rules around deductions, levies and the fringe benefit tax. Despite the confusion, it’s worth figuring out what’s eligible. The more expenses you can claim as tax deductions, the lower your taxable income and the smaller your eventual tax bill.
Although it’s crucial to get expert tax advice around EOFY, it’s also smart to have a basic understanding of deductibles and eligible expenses so you can keep records throughout the year.
