Is payment for administrative support a deductible expense?

Question

BlakeATO · Accepted Answer

As an employee, if you pay for someone to assist you with your employment duties, this is generally not an allowable deduction. If you are paying someone for their assistance, you should confirm if they are an employee or contractor. Your obligations in paying them will change depending on if they fit these categories (namely for PAYG withholding and supper guarantee purposes). You can read about deductions you can claim, and employee or contractor on our website.
