These are the strategic gaps we close — the ones that cost real money when they are ignored.
Logbook method vs cents-per-km. Fuel tax credits for heavy vehicles. Depreciation on the vehicle itself. The method you choose determines whether you claim $5K or $15K. We make sure it is the right one.
Rideshare drivers must register for GST from dollar one. Courier operators must register at $75K turnover. Getting this wrong creates a retrospective liability. We get you registered and compliant from the start.
Moving from one vehicle to a fleet changes everything — asset protection, insurance, and tax. A company structure limits liability and provides better depreciation strategies for multiple vehicles.
Every deliverable is principal-signed. Not delegated, not templated — built for your situation.
Your vehicle deductions are maximised and ATO-proof. Your GST is right from day one. And when you scale from one vehicle to five, your structure is ready.

Yes. The ATO requires all ride-sourcing (rideshare) drivers to register for GST regardless of turnover. This is different from most businesses which only need to register at $75K. You must register before your first trip and lodge BAS quarterly.
Fuel tax credits are available for vehicles over 4.5 tonnes GVM used for business. Light commercial vehicles and cars are not eligible. The credit rate changes quarterly and varies by fuel type. We lodge the claim as part of your BAS.
If you use it predominantly for business (over 50%), purchasing through a company gives you depreciation, GST credits, and running cost deductions. However, FBT may apply for private use. We model the total cost including FBT and compare it with personal ownership.
