Gardener & Landscaper

Tax & advisory for Sydney gardeners and landscapers

You started with a mower and a trailer. Now you have a crew, a nursery account, and a tax bill that does not reflect how hard you work. Let us fix that.

Where most businesses leave money on the table

These are the strategic gaps we close — the ones that cost real money when they are ignored.

ABN vs company — when to switch

A sole trader ABN is fine for maintenance rounds. But the moment you have employees, assets, or commercial contracts, personal liability exposure becomes real. We tell you when the switch makes financial sense — not before, not after.

Equipment and vehicle deductions

Mowers, trailers, blowers, utes — each has a depreciation schedule or instant write-off eligibility. Timing your purchases around the financial year boundary can shift thousands in deductions.

From cash jobs to commercial contracts

Moving from residential to strata or commercial work changes your invoicing, insurance, and GST obligations. We make sure your back-office keeps pace with your front-office growth.

What we deliver

Every deliverable is principal-signed. Not delegated, not templated — built for your situation.

  • Entity structure advice — sole trader to company transition modelling
  • Tax return with equipment, vehicle, and uniform deduction optimisation
  • GST and BAS strategy
  • Insurance and licensing compliance review
  • Growth modelling for hiring and fleet expansion
  • Business valuation for partnership or sale

The result

Your tax position reflects the deductions you are actually entitled to. Your structure protects your personal assets. And your growth plan has numbers behind it, not just ambition.

They showed me I was leaving $9K a year on the table in unclaimed deductions. That pays for their fees three times over.

Common questions from gardener & landscapers

Do I need to register for GST?

You must register for GST once your annual turnover reaches $75,000. If you are approaching that threshold, it is better to register proactively — it simplifies your invoicing and lets you claim GST credits on equipment and materials.

Can I claim my home office if I run the business from home?

Yes. If you use part of your home for business administration (invoicing, scheduling, bookkeeping), you can claim a portion of occupancy expenses or use the fixed-rate method. We calculate which method gives you the better deduction.

When should I move from sole trader to a company?

Generally when your taxable income consistently exceeds $90–100K, you have employees, or you have significant assets at risk. A company caps tax at 25% and provides limited liability. We model the transition cost and ongoing compliance difference so you can decide with real numbers.

Need bookkeeping handled too?

Done-for-you bookkeeping so the numbers are clean before the strategy starts.
