𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁? 🤔

Did you shout your team a coffee for month end?
Take them out for a celebratory lunch after winning a contract?
Perhaps you provided morning tea for your weekly staff meeting?

💬 “𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗚𝗦𝗧 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀?” 💬

The ATO rules for claiming differ depending on whether an expense is work related or deemed to be entertainment. Getting it wrong could mean missing out on eligible deductions or incorrectly claiming GST.

While tea, coffee and light refreshments provided in the workplace are generally claimable, meals, alcohol and social outings may be treated differently for tax purposes.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗸𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗧𝗢 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲:
✔️ Why was the food or drink provided?
✔️ What food or drink was provided?
✔️ When was it provided?
✔️ Where was it provided?

Not sure if your Friday afternoon drinks are claimable? Our team can help you navigate the rules to ensure your GST lodgements are correct.
