WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to cabinet makers.

01

Workshop equipment — table saws, edge banders, CNC

Above-threshold items into simplified depreciation pool; smaller hand tools immediate.

02

Workshop rent and utilities

If you rent a workshop, full rent is deductible. Home-based workshops claim a portion of running costs (but not rates/mortgage interest unless complex).

03

Stock — sheet stock, hardware, hinges

Held as trading stock when not yet allocated to a job. Year-end stock adjustment matters more here than in most trades.

04

Software — CAD, cutting-list optimisers

AutoCAD, Cabinet Vision, Polyboard subscriptions are deductible at work-use percentage.

05

Industry training and certifications

Manufacturer-specific training (Hettich, Blum hardware), TAFE Cert IV in Cabinet Making for cross-trained carpenters, OHS courses.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Mixing job-stock with general stock

Sheet stock pre-cut for a specific job is work-in-progress (asset), not just stock. Mis-categorising affects GST timing and income recognition.

MISS 02
Forgetting to claim home-workshop power separately

If your workshop is in a separate building on your property, you can sub-meter or apportion the electricity. Pure home-office rates don't apply to dedicated workshops.

MISS 03
Treating finance for equipment as a full immediate expense

Equipment finance — the interest is deductible but the principal isn't (the asset itself depreciates over its life).

FAQ · CABINET MAKERS

Questions cabinet makers ask us.

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

Power, water, security, internet — work-use percentage. Building costs (rates, insurance, mortgage interest) get more complex and trigger CGT exposure on your home if claimed. We model both before recommending — usually we don't claim the building costs even when technically allowed.
