Hi Kezzie. I am keen to find this out also as i want to ask my employer to do the same. If you wouldn.t mind answering a couple questions. Do you need to give your employer and ABN in order for then to pay yoi as a sole trader ? I think there are ato forms you/they fill out so you can trade with them without an ABN. I don.t fully understand the GST component. Does it mean you have to pay 10% of yr wage in GST? What if you are under 75 grand?

No ATM I don’t earn $75000 a year I only work three days a week. so if I want to use an ABN and ask if they will pay me as a subby, I guess I would ask for my current rate plus 10 or 11 % super. I would still come under $75000 a year. So does this mean no GST for me? If I did this I could fill out my next return declare nothing and tick the last return box?

But what about my employer does he need to pay the GST for my services?

Also I think there is a an ATO form you can use instead of an ABN stating you don’t have an ABN but still wish to act as a subcontractor, basically trading without an ABN
