Brunswick
Accounting and tax in Brunswick
Brunswick, in the City of Merri-bek about 6 km north of the CBD, is home to a strong creative and freelance community and a busy hospitality and retail strip along Sydney Road and Lygon Street.
Freelancers and side businesses often move between employee income and ABN income — which brings questions about GST registration, PAYG instalments and what can be claimed. You don't need to travel — consultations can be arranged by phone, video call or email, at a time that suits you, including Saturday mornings.
Local Considerations
What matters in Brunswick

Personal services income
Contractors earning mostly from one client may be affected by the PSI rules.
Hospitality and makers
BAS, stock, casual payroll and bookkeeping for small venues and producers.
FAQs
Common questions in Brunswick
General information only — contact us for advice specific to you.
Do I need to register for GST as a freelancer?
Generally only when your GST turnover reaches $75,000. Below that it's optional — whether it suits you depends on whether your clients are GST-registered businesses.
Can I claim my laptop and camera gear?
If you use them for your business or work, you can claim the business-use portion. Eligible small businesses can generally write off assets under $20,000 immediately.
