Key things to consider

  1. Understanding income types: It’s essential to determine whether your income is classified as personal services income or business income. Personal services income is typically a reward for your individual efforts or skills, which is relevant for those under a labour hire arrangement.
  2. Entering expenses: Be sure to enter any expenses related to your personal services income. This ensures that your net income reflects your true earnings.
  3. Double-check your entries: Before submitting your return, always verify that your income and expenses are accurately reported. This step can help you avoid mistakes and ensure compliance.
