Tax for Australians (with Sophia)

Most Australians lodge a return. Fewer actually understand their tax.

Tax for Australians is your guide to the Australian tax system. Sophie breaks down deductions, strategies, and ATO rules so you can make smarter decisions all year round, not just in July.

Every week we cover:
  • Deductions — what you can claim, how to prove it, what gets you audited
  • Work from home expenses — actual cost method vs fixed rate (67¢/hr)
  • Investment tax — CGT, negative gearing, franking credits explained
  • Property tax — depreciation schedules, land tax, GST on property
  • Tax planning — salary sacrifice, timing, structures that save real money
  • ATO news — what changed in FY2024–25 and what to watch in FY2025–26
  • HECS/HELP — repayment thresholds, indexation, and the strategy to pay it down
  • Side hustle & ABN tax — what you owe, what you can claim

No sales. No fluff. Only the knowledge that helps.

🇦🇺 Australian tax only. General information — not personal tax or financial advice.
