sasher Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Hi I have started working as a freelance journalist here in Aus and my employer told me that I need to get an ABN and register as a sole trader, even though my salary will be quite low as the work is irregular.Has anyone had any experience with this and what are the advantages and disadvantages associated with it? ThanksS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottg Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 You can register an ABN online here ABN RegistrationEverything related to be an business owner and taxation/BAS you can read here Small business in AusIn short you will be a subcontractor to your employer and not entitled to any benefits.If you engage with the public or can be injured on the job ensure that you have insurance to cover you! However there are many tax benefits if you want to grow your business......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
