Tax agent for concreters in Melton.
Slabs, driveways, decorative finishes, civil works — concreters work hard kilometres for thin margins. A registered tax agent in Melton who knows the work pattern is faster on year-end than walking a generalist accountant through every line.
Melton's slabs, driveways and decorative finishes have been poured by concreters working the western corridor since the suburbs first spread. Same straight-up approach: fixed fee, written quote, lodged on time.
Deductions specific to concreters.
Tools, screeds, power floats, diamond saws
Hand tools under $300 are immediate; power floats, ride-on trowels and concrete saws above the threshold depreciate.
Vehicle and trailer
Tipper, ute and concrete-mixer trailers earn high work-kilometres. Logbook usually beats cents-per-km.
PPE — boots, knee pads, eye protection, hi-vis
Concrete is corrosive on boots and gear, so the replacement cycle is faster than other trades. Track every replacement.
Industry training and tickets
White card, working at heights, working in trenches, asbestos awareness for renovation work. CCAA and Concrete Institute fees if you hold them.
Sub-contractor payments via TPAR
Pump operators, decorative finishers and labour-hire crews — substantiated and reported via TPAR each August.
What we see at audit.
Concreting attracts cash payments more than most trades. Undeclared cash income is the single most common audit trigger and the TPB requires us to lodge accurately. Disclose now, structure the deductions to make the net fair.
Bags of cement and reinforcing mesh used at your own house aren't deductible — even if you bought them through the work account.
If you registered for GST mid-year, you can claim back GST on equipment purchased before registration in some circumstances. Many concreters don't realise this.
