If you’re a contractor, freelancer, or sole trader, lodging your ABN tax return can feel overwhelming. Between income reporting, GST, and claiming every possible tax deduction, it’s easy to miss out—or worse, make a mistake that slows down your tax refund.

That’s why Gotax created a simple, online solution for ABN Tax Returns. Whether you’re a tradie, rideshare driver, or digital freelancer, Gotax makes it easy to stay compliant and maximise your tax refund.

Why ABN Tax Returns Are Different

Unlike employees, ABN holders don’t have tax automatically withheld from their income. That means:

• You’re responsible for reporting all your business income
• You need to track and claim your business-related tax deductions
• You may need to register and report GST if your turnover is above $75,000
• You’re responsible for setting aside money for tax

Gotax understands these challenges and has built tools specifically for ABN holders.

What You Can Claim as an ABN Holder

When you lodge your ABN tax return with Gotax, you’ll be prompted to claim:

• Vehicle and travel expenses
• Home office costs
• Tools, equipment, and protective clothing
• Phone and internet expenses
• Professional fees and insurance
• Super contributions

Every eligible tax deduction reduces your taxable income and increases your tax refund.
