WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to locksmiths.

01

Specialist tools — pick guns, key cutters, transponder programmers

Above-threshold equipment depreciates; hand tools and consumables under $300 immediate.

02

Vehicle — mobile-locksmith ute or van

Logbook always wins for mobile locksmiths because nearly all work is site-to-site.

03

Stock — locks, keys, blanks, transponder shells

Held as stock; year-end adjustment for any meaningful holding.

04

Licensing — security industry licence renewals

Victoria Police security licence (Subclass 3-3) renewals and any associate-employee endorsements all deductible.

05

Training — automotive immobiliser, master-key systems

Manufacturer-specific automotive bypass training, master-keying short courses. Deductible against current income.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Treating customer-cut keys as stock

Cut keys are work-in-progress on a job, not held stock. Stock is the uncut key blank.

MISS 02
Forgetting security-licence renewal

Renewal is annual and time-sensitive — renewal fee is deductible but only if licence is current.

FAQ · LOCKSMITHS

Questions locksmiths ask us.

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

Only if turnover hits $75k. Below that, you can register voluntarily — many locksmiths do because customers expect a tax invoice for insurance reimbursement.
