Tax agent for bakers in Melton.
Bakery operators run thin margins, pre-dawn shifts, expensive ovens and stock with a short shelf life. A registered tax agent who understands the trade keeps the books clean and the BAS lodged on time.
Melton's bakeries open before dawn and run on thin margins, expensive ovens and short-shelf-life stock. We keep the books just as fresh — fixed fee, on time.
Deductions specific to bakers.
Equipment — ovens, mixers, proofers
Above-threshold equipment depreciates over its effective life; smaller utensils immediate.
Premises rent and utilities
Full rent deductible. Power for ovens is a major recurring cost — track it as a separate line.
Stock — flour, sugar, fillings
Daily stock movement; year-end stock-on-hand adjustment matters more here than most trades.
Wages and superannuation
Employees are the second-biggest cost after rent. Super-guarantee timing matters — late SG converts to non-deductible SGC.
Food-safety training and accreditation
Council food-handler renewals, allergen management, HACCP for wholesale operations.
What we see at audit.
Spoiled product is built into the cost-of-goods-sold calculation, not a separate write-off.
Products taken home for personal use need a private-use adjustment in stock or as income.
