Assessable Income – Allowable Deductions = Taxable Income

Allowable tax deductions include all expenses that are incurred in gaining or producing assessable income, except when they are of a capital or a private or domestic nature. When all deductions have been made from assessable income, the resulting figure is your taxable income. The cost of any goods sold, together with rent, repairs, leases, telephone, stationery, bank fees, rates, etc., all qualify as allowable deductions.

  • Wages and salaries to employees
  • Insurance premiums
