Tax time for creatives

Living on a variable income – as so many creative professionals do – can make managing your finances challenging to navigate on a day to day basis, let alone at tax time. How do you know what deductions you can claim? Do you pay tax on overseas royalties? And what are you supposed to do about superannuation?

In this session, Matthew Tucker from Creative Crunchers, an accounting practice specialising in the arts and entertainment industries, will guide you through the many hurdles and processes you’re likely to face when running a creative business, like:

  • What you can claim and when you can claim it
  • How to handle substantiation requirements, advances, and royalties
  • Whether you need to register for GST
  • How to work out tax payable with income averaging
  • What you can do with non-commercial loss provisions
  • How you can plan for tax payments
  • How you can get through the long famine between the feasts

Join us for this session to learn Matt’s expert tips and tricks to help you get prepared for the end of financial year and teach you how to approach your financial management with confidence. 

There will be time for questions.
