WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to tilers.

01

Tools — wet saws, levels, trowels, mixers

Wet-cut saws and dry-cut tile saws above $300 depreciate; everyday hand tools immediate.

02

Waterproofing certifications

Class III waterproofing certification renewals, including the practical-test fees, are deductible if related to current income.

03

Compulsory PPE — knee pads, gloves, dust masks

Heavy daily use means high replacement frequency — track every replacement.

04

Vehicle and ute racks for tile-pallet transport

Logbook works best because of the high work-kilometres carrying pallets between merchant and site.

05

Silica-safety equipment

Wet-cutting attachments, M-class vacuums and respirators required under updated Vic silica regulations are all deductible — and increasingly required for compliance, not optional.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Treating off-cut waste as a deduction

Tile waste is built into the cost — there's no separate deduction for breakage. The full cost of the tiles bought goes through stock/COGS.

MISS 02
Forgetting waterproofing CPD renewals

Renewals are time-sensitive and the certificate is the only audit-proof record. Claim every renewal, not just the initial qualification.

MISS 03
Mixing private and work materials at the same merchant

Buying tiles for your own house through the work account turns them into a Div 7A loan or a private-use adjustment. Keep separate accounts.

Licensing affects the income side (only licensed waterproofers can charge for that work) but not the deduction side directly. Renewals and CPD for the licence are deductible.
