Question

Nanny job

TeddyATO · Accepted Answer

The way the tax is dealt with for your nanny jobs depends on what the agreement is between you and the families. If you're working as a sole trader then you'll provide an invoice for your services and the tax will be dealt with when you declare the income on your income tax return. If you're working as an employee and the families are hiring you, they may pay you the salary and send the tax to the ATO. If you're being hired under salary and wages you're a tax resident then you should claim the tax free threshold (https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Working/Working-as-an-employee/Income-from-more-than-one-job/) from your highest earning job. If you select tax free threshold on both jobs you may end up not having enough tax withheld for your tax return.
