Hello,
I am looking to self- publish a book, under a publishing company I am going to set up, so I will have an ABN.
Am I able to claim the costs of acquiring an illustrator, printing and distribution costs?
does this apply if i unfortunately don’t make a profit?
Thank you for any advice
Those costs will count as part of trading stock, so will carry forward till sales are made.
Best to go to a tax agent if you don't know what to do.
