Tax agent for cleaners in Melton.

Domestic, commercial, end-of-lease and specialist cleaners — most run as sole-traders with multiple recurring contracts. A Melton-based registered tax agent who understands the work pattern keeps quarterly BAS simple.

Melton's offices, end-of-lease properties and homes are kept clean by cleaners — sole-traders running rounds, crews running contracts. We keep the books just as tidy: fixed fee, on time.

REGISTERED · TPB 26321143
Sole-trader cleaners: $349 + BAS once GST-registered. Pty Ltd: $1,490 + bookkeeping. Employed cleaners: $179. All prices exclude GST.

WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to cleaners.

01

Cleaning consumables and chemicals

Cloths, mops, vacuum bags, chemicals — purchased per-job or in bulk. Bulk purchases at year-end need a stock adjustment.

02

Equipment — vacuums, scrubbers, pressure washers

Above-threshold equipment depreciates; under $300 immediate.

03

Vehicle expenses for site-to-site travel

High work-kilometre profiles favour logbook over cents-per-km.

04

Compulsory PPE — gloves, masks, eye protection

Especially for biohazard, mould and end-of-lease work. Specialist respirators count too.

05

Phone, internet, scheduling-software subscriptions

Tradify, ServiceM8, Cliniko or simple Google Workspace — work-use percentage of subscriptions is deductible.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Claiming personal home cleaning supplies

Cleaning products used at your own home aren't deductible — keep separate purchases.

MISS 02
Not registering for GST when over $75k

Cleaning businesses scale fast — once you cross $75,000 turnover in any rolling 12 months, GST registration is mandatory within 21 days.

MISS 03
Treating sub-contracted cleaners as employees

Or vice versa. Misclassification triggers payroll-tax, super-guarantee and PAYG-withholding back-claims. Worth checking when team grows past one helper.

Questions cleaners ask us.

If you're carrying on an enterprise (recurring, organised, profit-motive), yes. The threshold for what counts as an enterprise is lower than people think. Recurring weekly cleans with a few clients qualifies.
