Do I need an ABN to be a freelancer?

Yes. If you're invoicing for your services, you're running a business — and an ABN is required.

Can I claim a portion of my home internet or phone?

Absolutely — if it's used for work, it's deductible. You'll just need to calculate the work-related percentage.

What if I also work a part-time job?

No problem. You can include both your PAYG income and freelance earnings in the same tax return with GoTax.
