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.
Deductions specific to roofers.
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.
Hand and power tools
Nail guns, tin snips, slate rippers, seamers, hot-air guns. Under $300 immediate; above depreciate.
Vehicle, ladder racks and roof carriers
Logbook usually wins because of high site-to-site kilometres carting tile pallets and rolled flashing.
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.
Industry training and licence renewals
Asbestos-awareness for older Melton stock, lead-flashing accreditation, manufacturer-specific training (Colorbond, Boral, Monier).
Weather-day equipment and tarps
Site tarps, temporary covers, dewatering pumps and rope-rescue kit are all deductible business expenses, often missed.
What we see at audit.
After-hours storm work paid cash is still assessable income. Not declaring it is the single most common audit trigger for the trade.
Elevated work platforms and cherry-pickers above the IAWO threshold depreciate; they don't write off in year one regardless of cost.
Annual renewals are deductible — many roofers miss them because the certificate doesn't always come with an obvious receipt.
