Answers you’re looking for
Straight answers to the questions Melbourne taxpayers ask us most.
What tax deductions can tradies claim in Australia?
Tradies can claim tools and equipment, vehicle expenses, work clothing and PPE, mobile phone and internet costs, and union fees. Julia Pisanelli specialises in tradie tax returns and ensures you claim every legitimate deduction.
Can I claim work-from-home expenses on my tax return?
Yes. The ATO allows work-from-home deductions using either the fixed rate or actual cost method. We’ll calculate whichever gives you the larger deduction.
What is a BAS and when do I need to lodge it?
A Business Activity Statement (BAS) reports your GST, PAYG, and other tax obligations to the ATO. Most Melbourne businesses lodge quarterly. We handle the whole process for you.
Can a tax agent help property investors with their tax return?
Yes. Property investors have complex returns involving rental income, depreciation schedules, interest deductions, and capital gains. JTO Accounting specialises in property investor tax returns across Melbourne and Victoria.
