Tax agent for roofers in Melton.

Tile, metal, slate, restoration — Melton's housing growth keeps roofers busy across new builds and re-roofs. A registered tax agent who already understands working-at-heights tickets, harness gear and weather-day cashflow saves time at year-end.

Melton's expanding skyline is the work of roofers — tile, metal, slate. Every new build needs one, every storm brings more callouts. Fixed fee, written quote, lodged on time.

WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to roofers.

01

Working-at-heights and roof-safety tickets

Annual harness inspections, ladder-safety renewals and roof-safe-work-method certifications are deductible. So is the gear itself — harnesses, lanyards, anchor points.

02

Hand and power tools

Nail guns, tin snips, slate rippers, seamers, hot-air guns. Under $300 immediate; above depreciate.

03

Vehicle, ladder racks and roof carriers

Logbook usually wins because of high site-to-site kilometres carting tile pallets and rolled flashing.

04

Compulsory PPE — boots, sun protection, hi-vis

Roofing is one of the few outdoor trades where ATO accepts sunscreen as deductible. So is broad-brim hard hats with company logo.

05

Industry training and licence renewals

Asbestos-awareness for older Melton stock, lead-flashing accreditation, manufacturer-specific training (Colorbond, Boral, Monier).

06

Weather-day equipment and tarps

Site tarps, temporary covers, dewatering pumps and rope-rescue kit are all deductible business expenses, often missed.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Treating storm-emergency overtime cash as off-books

After-hours storm work paid cash is still assessable income. Not declaring it is the single most common audit trigger for the trade.

MISS 02
Claiming the EWP at full cost in year of purchase

Elevated work platforms and cherry-pickers above the IAWO threshold depreciate; they don't write off in year one regardless of cost.

MISS 03
Forgetting working-at-heights training renewals

Annual renewals are deductible — many roofers miss them because the certificate doesn't always come with an obvious receipt.

Questions roofers ask us.

For most outdoor trades — yes, if they're protective gear required by the work environment. ATO has accepted these for trades exposed to direct UV for prolonged periods. Records of purchase support the claim.
