If you're a tradie using your ute, van or car for work, keeping track of your vehicle expenses could make a real difference at tax time.

👉 Keep your receipts and invoices. Fuel, servicing, repairs, registration and insurance are some of the expenses you may be able to claim.

👉 Track your work-related travel. Depending on how you use your vehicle and calculate your expenses, you may also need a logbook or records of your work-related kilometres.

👉 Know what applies to your vehicle. The type of vehicle you drive and how you use it can affect which expenses are tax deductible.

💡 The key? Don't leave your record-keeping until tax time. Staying organised throughout the year makes it easier to identify eligible deductions and support your claims.

Not sure what records you need or what you can claim?

We can help you understand what vehicle expenses you may be able to claim, plan ahead and keep the right records to make tax time easier.

Still haven't lodged your 2025–26 tax return? The clock is ticking! ⏰

The standard deadline for individuals lodging their own tax returns is 31 October 2026. However, as this falls on a Saturday, the deadline moves to Monday, 2 November 2026.

⚠️ What happens if you miss the deadline?

Lodging late could cost you! The ATO may apply a Failure to Lodge penalty, which increases for every 28 days (or part thereof) your return remains overdue, up to a maximum of five penalty units.

If you have an outstanding tax bill that isn't paid by its due date, interest charges may also apply.

💡 Not ready yet? You may have more time!

As registered tax agents, we may be able to help you access an extended lodgement deadline.

If you register with us as a tax client by 31 October 2026, you may qualify for an extended lodgement deadline, meaning you could have until May 2027 to lodge your tax return.

Extensions aren't automatic and depend on your individual circumstances and ATO eligibility requirements.

Don't leave it until the last minute!

Get in touch with us today and let's get your tax sorted. 😊

Selling products online, creating content, working with brands, freelancing, tutoring or earning extra income through social media? 💰

What starts as a hobby or a way to earn a little extra money can grow into something bigger. And with that growth can come tax obligations you might not have considered.

Here are a few things worth keeping in mind:

👉 Declaring Income: All money earned from side hustles, freelancing, or online sales must be declared on your tax return if your activity is run as a business or an income-producing venture.

👉 Free products and brand collaborations: Payments, free products, trips received in exchange for an expectation of promotion can have tax implications too!

👉 GST registration: If your business reaches the relevant GST turnover threshold, you may need to register for GST.

👉 Keeping records: Keep track of what you earn, what you spend and the records to support it. Good record keeping makes tax time much easier!

💙 Love what you're doing but not so keen on the tax side?

At Shoebox Books & Tax Croydon, we can help with tax returns, GST, BAS, eligible deductions and bookkeeping, so you can focus on what you enjoy while we help keep your finances on track.

Whether it's a little extra income or a growing business, let's make sure you've got the tax side covered! 😊

Running a business comes with plenty of expenses, but do you actually know which ones you can claim at tax time? 🤔

From your phone and internet to vehicle expenses, tools and equipment, knowing what's deductible isn't always straightforward.

Not sure if an expense is deductible? Start by asking yourself these three questions:

👉 Is it for my business? The expense needs to relate to earning your business income.

👉 Do I use it for personal purposes too? If it's a mix of business and personal use, you can generally only claim the business portion.

👉 Do I have the records to back it up? Keeping receipts and supporting records is important when claiming deductions.

💡 And remember, bigger purchases like tools, machinery or equipment can have different tax rules, so it's worth checking how they should be claimed.

Not sure what you can claim? At Shoebox Books & Tax Croydon, we're here to help you make sense of your business expenses and get your tax sorted.
