Tax agent for bricklayers in Melton.

Bricklayers carry one of the heavier physical workloads in the trades — and a deduction profile that quietly stacks up. A registered tax agent in Melton who already works with the trade keeps year-end simple.

Melton's brick stock is the work of bricklayers pacing the new estates. Hard work, thin margins, generations of trade pride. We bring the same discipline to your tax — fixed fee, on time.

WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to bricklayers.

01

Trowels, line blocks, brick saws, mixers

Hand tools under $300 are immediate; brick saws, mortar mixers and lift gear above the threshold depreciate.

02

Vehicle and trailer for material runs

Logbook usually beats cents-per-km because of the high work-kilometres carting bricks, sand and cement.

03

Compulsory PPE and high-replacement consumables

Steel-cap boots, knee pads, hi-vis with logo, gloves, sun protection (the BCITF approves sunscreen for outdoor trades).

04

Working-at-heights, EWP and white-card refreshers

Mandatory tickets for site access. Renewals are deductible.

05

Self-education — heritage and decorative bricklaying

Specialist short courses for heritage repointing, brick-arch construction and decorative finishes are deductible where they relate to current income streams.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Personal landscaping materials

Pavers, retaining-wall blocks and edging used at your own home aren't deductible.

MISS 02
Claiming meals on long jobs

Meals during a normal work day are private spending unless you're on an overtime meal allowance.

MISS 03
Forgetting cement-allergy medical costs

Some bricklayers develop cement dermatitis. Specific medical treatment for a work-caused condition is potentially claimable if your employer doesn't reimburse it, though we'd discuss this with you first because the claim has tight requirements.

FAQ · BRICKLAYERS

Questions bricklayers ask us.

Can't find what you need? Call (03) 8732 2126 or email info@taxtracker.com.au.

Possibly with personal-services-income (PSI) restrictions. The 80% rule and the unrelated-clients/employees/business-premises tests determine whether general-business deductions apply. We assess this for every bricklayer we onboard who works under labour-hire.
