Frequently Asked Questions
Do builders need to register for GST?
If your turnover exceeds the GST registration threshold, registration is generally required. We can advise you on your obligations and manage your GST reporting.
Can I claim tools and equipment?
Many business-related tools and equipment may be deductible or depreciated depending on their cost and business use.
Should I operate as a sole trader or company?
The best structure depends on your income, risk profile and future business goals. We can help you choose the most appropriate structure.
Do you work with subcontractors?
Yes. We assist both subcontractors and construction businesses with tax compliance, BAS, payroll and business advisory services.
What records should builders keep for tax purposes?
Mention invoices, receipts, bank statements, payroll records, vehicle logbooks and subcontractor payments.
When should I start tax planning?
Explain that tax planning is most effective before the end of the financial year rather than after it ends.
Can you help with Xero and bookkeeping?
