WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM

Deductions specific to upholsterers.

01

Sewing machines, staple guns, frame tools

Industrial sewing machines and pneumatic staple guns above the threshold depreciate; hand-tools immediate.

02

Stock — fabric, foam, padding, frames

Long-cycle stock with short-roll batches; year-end stock adjustment matters.

03

Workshop rent or home-workshop running costs

Workshop rent fully deductible. Home workshops claim a portion of running costs — but watch CGT exposure.

04

Vehicle for pickup and delivery

Delivery and pickup of large furniture pieces; logbook captures it.

05

Restoration training and short courses

Heritage furniture restoration, automotive trim manufacturer training (Lear, Recaro), reupholstery technique courses.

COMMON MISTAKES

What we see at audit.

MISS 01
Treating partial-job work as completed stock

Half-upholstered pieces are work-in-progress, not finished stock. Different valuation rules at year end.

MISS 02
Claiming personal restoration projects through the business

Restoring your own furniture isn't deductible even if invoiced through the work account.
