How do freelancers manage taxes from getting paid?
Freelancers have a different tax situation compared to traditional employees. Unlike employees who have taxes withheld from their paycheck, freelancers are responsible for paying estimated taxes throughout the year. This helps avoid a large tax bill at the end of the year. They also need to calculate and pay for self-employment tax, which covers Social Security and Medicare taxes.
Freelancers can deduct many ordinary and necessary business expenses from their taxable income. This can include things like office supplies, equipment, software subscriptions, and travel related to their work.
While not essential, payroll software designed for freelancers can simplify the process. These tools can help track income and expenses, generate invoices, and even automate estimated tax payments. This can save freelancers time and ensure they’re on track with their tax obligations.
Can I finalise STP and report to the ATO for end-of-financial-year (EOFY) using Payroller?
