The way it works out is that you take your salary and divide it by 1522 to get what you should contract at . In terms of what you can get tax breaks on , it ' s not as much as you may think . You have to have a space where you work from home , then you measure out the floorspace as a percentage of the overall home . If the floorspace is say 10 %, and you pay $ 500 a week in rent , then you have an expense of $ 50 . However it ' s not like you immediately save $ 50 . You only save what the tax on this would have been , in your case it will be around 20 ish percent . So $ 10 a week . You do the same for various utilities . Your mobile phone however you can usually expense 100 % of that , but again you only get the tax back . For broadband you could probably get 50 % of that off if not more given your job is 100 % work from home . In terms of GST . There is no reason not to register for GST unless you don ' t want the hassle . The end company does not care whether you charge GST or not . Their net GST will be larger as long as their sales are more than their expenses so they won ' t care . And for you it ' s a boon as you will be able to remove GST from your expenses Such as mobile phone etc and various capital expenses Which you can then depreciate .
