Situations we see often in Vermont South

Tradies and sole traders

Electricians, plumbers, builders and cleaners working on an ABN need GST registration once turnover reaches $75,000, a BAS each quarter, and good records for the car and tools. We help you choose between the cents per kilometre and logbook methods, claim tools and equipment properly, and decide when it is worth moving to a company.

Retirees and people close to retirement

Questions here are about super: how much to contribute before you stop work, whether a downsizer contribution makes sense if you sell the family home, and whether a self-managed super fund is worth the cost and responsibility. We give you the numbers and look after SMSF accounts if you have one.

Vermont South clients: common questions

I am a tradie in Vermont South. Should I use the logbook method for my ute?

If you use the vehicle mostly for work and drive a lot, a logbook usually gives a bigger deduction than cents per kilometre, which is capped at 5,000 work kilometres. You need to keep the logbook for a continuous 12 weeks. We compare both methods with your actual figures.

Is an SMSF worth it for a couple in their sixties?

It depends on the balance, how involved you want to be and what you want to invest in. An SMSF has fixed yearly costs, including accounting and an independent audit, so it suits larger balances and people who want direct control. We set out the costs against your current fund before you decide.

Where is your office, and how far is it from Vermont South?

Our office is at Suite 2D, First Floor, Building 2, 303-313 Burwood Highway, Burwood East VIC 3151, about 2 km from Vermont South (about 5 minutes by car outside peak hour). Tram route 75 and bus 732 both stop on Burwood Highway near the building.
