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.
Cloths, mops, vacuum bags, chemicals — purchased per-job or in bulk. Bulk purchases at year-end need a stock adjustment.
Above-threshold equipment depreciates; under $300 immediate.
High work-kilometre profiles favour logbook over cents-per-km.
Especially for biohazard, mould and end-of-lease work. Specialist respirators count too.
Tradify, ServiceM8, Cliniko or simple Google Workspace — work-use percentage of subscriptions is deductible.
Cleaning products used at your own home aren't deductible — keep separate purchases.
Cleaning businesses scale fast — once you cross $75,000 turnover in any rolling 12 months, GST registration is mandatory within 21 days.
Or vice versa. Misclassification triggers payroll-tax, super-guarantee and PAYG-withholding back-claims. Worth checking when team grows past one helper.
