Australia - Tax Guide for Freelance Contractors
Our tax guide for freelance contractors working in Australia
Capital Consulting can provide a full range of payroll services in Australia subject to work permit legislation/restrictions.
The individual is employed by Capital Consulting and income is paid in the form of salary, allowances and expenses, the proportion of each part depending on individual circumstances.
Salary, Tax & Social Security
Capital Consulting deducts tax and social security at source on a PAYE basis, and payments are made to the relevant authorities on the employee’s behalf. The taxable amount may be reduced by offsetting certain business expenses.
Capital Consulting will discuss your personal circumstances with you and help you to minimise your tax and social security liabilities, within the bounds of Australian legislation.
Tax Returns
Income is managed tax efficiently, not just in Australia but also in any other country where there may be a liability. A tax return is filed each year in Australia with advice and assistance from Capital Consulting, who will also provide help with filing tax returns elsewhere, if required.
