Thanks for this video Ethan, super helpful. Keen to watch a video if you end up covering an exmpale video for people who have a full-time job and wanting to start a side hustel (start up) as a sole trader. First few years would be full development phase, so there won't be any additional income as a sole trader. With this, is it possible to get tax deduction benefits for buying equipments and online services to get the business up and running?

@EthanRooshock 7 месяцев назад

No worries. If you check out my video on Non Commercial Losses, that will hopefully answer some of your questions.

@docteurd815 Год назад

Awesome video! So helpful, thank you. Do you think you could go over some more of the Sole Trader tax stuff? Like super contributions for a sole trader, does a super contribution count as an expense for the business and is therefore not taxed? Or do I have to contribute super with my after tax profits? A video on that would be awesome too. Cheers!!

@EthanRooshock Год назад

No worries, glad you found it helpful! A super contribution is handled in your personal tax return. You would need to fill out a notice of intent to claim if you intend to claim it as a tax deduction. If you do that, it will reduce your taxable income.

Thanks Ethan! Especially when starting out and having more expenses than income, can you carry over losses as a sole trader to the next financial year(s) like you would for businesses? Thanks and keep up the great content!

@EthanRooshock Год назад

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 Год назад

@@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?

@gulamhusenkhanpathan427 11 месяцев назад

Great video! How does the GST plays the role in income tax? When you said sole traders will be taxed on the profit does that profit mean (income - expenses - GST) or it is just (income - expenses)?

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? (Cleaning, House-Painting, Setting up furniture etc) Thanks

Hi so just to clarify my eccommerce store has done just shy of 50k sales this year but I only make approximately Net 10-30% on average from each sale. (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.) I really wish they taught this shit in school instead of useless maths ill never need.

@EthanRooshock Год назад

Yep Income less Expenses is your profit. Doesn't matter how high your revenue is, you only pay tax on your profits.

@elisabethgogos5220 Месяц назад

Quick question. So if I'm only counting my profit from my business income after expenses. Does that mean I don't declare all of earnings before expenses? So if I made 40 thousand income, then used 15 thousand for expenses. Would my income be 25000. What if I was applying for a loan and needed the 40 thousand to be income proof?

@EthanRooshock Месяц назад

You declare the income and the expenses which will give you the profit. The bank is only going to care about your profit, if you have $40k in income but $15k in expenses, your taxable income is $25k.

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

@EthanRooshock Год назад

$6717 Income Tax, $1000 Medicare Levy, less $250 for the LITO

@@EthanRooshock thanks...interesting to see that the LMITO ended and LITO is $67677 or something

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 месяцев назад

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

@archangel5410 5 месяцев назад

@@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
