What sole traders can claim

You can claim the costs of running your business, as long as they aren't private and you keep records. Here's where most sole traders leave money on the table.

Instant asset write-off

Businesses with turnover under $10 million can write off assets costing less than $20,000 each in the year they're first used or installed. This threshold is now permanent from 1 July 2026, and applies per asset.

Small business income tax offset

If your turnover is under $5 million, you get a 16% discount on the tax payable on your business income, up to $1,000 a year. We make sure it's applied.

Home office

Working from home? Claim running costs using the fixed rate or actual costs. If part of your home is set aside as a genuine place of business, some rent or mortgage interest may be claimable too.

Vehicles

Use cents per kilometre for up to 5,000 business km, or keep a logbook to claim the business share of fuel, insurance, servicing, registration and depreciation.

Super for yourself

Sole traders don't get employer super, but personal contributions are deductible within your concessional cap of $32,500 for 2026-27. Lodge a notice of intent with your fund first.

Prepaid and start-up costs

Prepay up to 12 months of expenses like insurance or subscriptions before 30 June and claim them this year. Certain start-up costs, like advice on setting up, can be claimed straight away.

Everyday running costs

The business share of phone and internet, software subscriptions like Xero, advertising, insurance, stock, bank fees, professional memberships and our fee.

What you can't claim

Private use portions, fines and penalties, and payments to yourself. Drawings aren't wages, so they aren't a deduction.

General information only, based on ATO rules as at November 2026. It isn't personal advice, so we'll confirm what applies to you before you claim anything.
