What Deductions Can Side Hustlers Claim?

Side hustlers can claim a wide range of tax deductions — far more than most people realise. If the expense helps you earn ABN income, it’s usually deductible.

Common side hustle deductions include:

  • Home office

  • Phone & internet

  • Tools & equipment

  • Software subscriptions

  • Advertising & marketing

  • Car & travel expenses

  • Training & upskilling

  • Start-up costs

To avoid missing deductions, use the full breakdown in the:

And when it’s time to lodge, run everything through the:

It prompts every deduction category so nothing slips through the cracks.
