Hi mate, do you have a video on more specifically a plumber or sparkie setting up a sole trader vs small business working for yourself, out of your home with a ute and tools and whats more beneficial for tax benefits
really good information, thank you. I am at that stage of going from Sole trader potentially however, your video has given me more to consider. Appreciate your video mate.
Great video but you just missed about the PSI when setting up a company. That wouldn’t change anything in terms of tax flexibilitycompared to sole trader. Just more overhead right ?
@@EthanRooshock Do you have a video focusing on PSI income with strategies or tax benefits we can still have? or do you reckon this would be pretty much as working as payg with same rules for deductions?
Ive heard that with a company you can claim more deductions on business related expenses compared to a sole trader. Im currently a sole trader and i spent a good amount on online tools, and trainings, etc that are all business related. Would there be a difference in how these deductions effect my taxs whether im a sole trader or set up a company?
Hi mate, your videos are awesome. I am a sole trader, is it safe to take cash in my cleaning business though not providing invoice. Is it safe not showing as income. Thanks
Would love a video on your thoughts about this self payment structure: - set up a pty ltd company (2 shareholders) - both shareholders also set up a sole trader ABN - rather than the shareholders taking money out of the company via dividends or wages, instead funds are taken out by invoicing the company from the shareholders sole trader ABN This way the shareholders are able to get paid based on the work completed which is itemised in each invoice, but as the shareholders are not deemed as employees of the company there is no superannuation or workers comp required to be paid. Of course these amounts received via the invoices are added to the shareholders personal income tax, so the same amount of tax is paid to the ATO. Are there any issues with this approach?
Definitely way too specific for me to answer on UA-cam sorry. You should be speaking to a tax agent directly. Just one note, you should look into when a contractor is required to be paid super. You can't just avoid super by paying contractors.
Depends on the situation. As discussed in the video, there are certain situations where a company may make sense. No. A company however may pay you a wage or dividends that get added to your personal taxable income.
Just moved to AUS from NZ and my previous employer wants to keep me engaged but as a contractor, would you recommend doing this as a sole trader or company? Thanks
I have an ABN (sole trader), I registered a business name, registered a Domain name, Planning to buy a car to travel and meet clients to generate some income, But the initial set up and the qualifications that I am doing, like getting a training on software to do my drafting, also I earn a salary and I pay tax on TFN, can I offset any of those with my loses on setting up my business, may be I make some money in few years till I get ready.

Ethan, is great. Simplified explanations. On the money advice. Great clarification between in establishing a sol trader, company and trustee.
Thanks heaps!
This might be the simplest way I’ve ever heard it described! 🙌
Glad that’s how you found it!

This is the best video for that topic really.

Glad it has been helpful!
Such good advice! Thanks Ethan 💖
No worries!!
helpful 👍🏻
Glad to hear!

If you have PSI income then it is a completely different conversation if you're looking at things just for tax purposes.
@@EthanRooshock Do you have a video focusing on PSI income with strategies or tax benefits we can still have? or do you reckon this would be pretty much as working as payg with same rules for deductions?
Not at the moment but in general the rules are going to be similar to working PAYG.@@jordanpio2945

As long as they are business related, they will be claimable no matter the entity.

Thanks! I mean if you’re asking if you can take cash and not declare it, that would be tax fraud so I can’t advise that haha

Is it worth having a sole trader and company business? Does the company profit get added to my sole trader income
Depends on the situation. As discussed in the video, there are certain situations where a company may make sense.
No. A company however may pay you a wage or dividends that get added to your personal taxable income.

You'd need to get individual advice. I can't provide that on UA-cam. I cover the basics steps in this video.
$45,001 - $120,000 $5,092 plus 32.5 cents for each $1 over $45,000. How come company tax with 25% is not a better option for 100K?
Do you need access to that $100K? If so, you would then need to pay yourself a wage/dividend and then be taxed at marginal rates anyway.

You'll need to look into the Non Commercial Loss rules
