A video on that would be awesome too. Cheers!!

@EthanRooshock Жыл бұрын

It depends on the situation. There are Non Commercial Loss rules that you have to meet. If you meet one of them, you can deduct the loss against other income sources. If not, the loss has to be deferred. The main one that people normally meet is $20K in turnover.

@wealthelife Жыл бұрын

@@EthanRooshock Yep. It sucks. I started up a financial adviser business as a 'side hustle' and, due to relatively high fixed costs (licensee fees, ASIC levy etc.) have made a profit (or had more than $20K pa revenue) for the first few years and therefore not been able to include the losses against my PAYG wage income from my full-time job, but instead have to carry it forward until I (might) eventually turn a profit on my 'business'. I suppose looking for a 'silver lining' it means that if/when I eventually start making a profit (or at least have more than $20K pa client revenue) I won't be paying taxes on the business revenue for several years (until the carried forward losses have been used up). ps. What are the rules regarding carried forward losses from one business and other business/side-gig income? eg. are non-commercial carried forward losses offset against profits from other (non-related) business ventures/side gigs, or are they only able to be claimed against future profits from the same business venture?

Very helpful and thanks. I have just started a "side hustle" of AirBnB and the income earned from the shortstay is already tax deducted by the booking company. With my tax return, 1. Will I be taxed again on the profit made from the biz in addition to my regular income? 2. In the course of setting up the biz, I purchased most of the items required from Facebook Marketplace. Will I be able to claim all these as part of my expenditure on the biz? I have kept all the records of purchases. 3. Also, will I be able to claim all the man hours I put into setting up the biz?

(Working on a better system to keep track lol) So at most I net profit only 15k However I was spending approx $2,400 on ads and a ad agency for 5 months plus site fees (Multi vendor website so $200+ a month) So realistically i would have only net profited a few thousand for the year. So would I only put 3K net profit on my tax return despite the gross income being so high? (I didnt do the exact maths.)

How can I reduce my tax as a sole trader? I got a normal job which gives me 180000 and a sole trader job for 120000 . When I work as sole trader I get taxed 45%. So my question is should I start earning under company so I can reduce tax

@EthanRooshock Ай бұрын

That depends on what industry you're working in etc. If you're at that levels of profits, I'd highly recommend you engage a tax agent for personal advice.

Do you run a business? Then yes you need to include it. There is no $18K limit.

where did you get $7467 tax on $50,000 when the simple tax calculator on the tax department website says the tax on $50,000 for 22/23 is $6717?? The simple tax calculator says the tax on $70,000 is $13,217. and tax on 120,000 is $29,467

So essentially if I earn $180k as an employee and I start a sole trader I’m going get taxed on my business at 47c? F#ck that!

@EthanRooshock 5 ай бұрын

Yeah the exact same as if you earned more than $180k as an employee. Its the same tax rate

@archangel5410 5 ай бұрын

@@EthanRooshock yeah so it’s better to setup a company even if you just want to be a painter on weekends as tax rate is 25%. I see no benefits to being a sole trader if you are going to be taxed at 45c

If you stream online and do things like unboxing or product reviews, are the purchases to do the videos tax deductible? How does this work with tax as a sole trader, assuming you are making revenue from the videos? @EthanRooshock
