Hi,


In my 2024 tax filing, this situation occurred:


  • In FY2023-2024, I did consulting work for Groups A and B at Company X.
  • I was employed as a casual by Group A and put on the Company X payroll.
  • I was requested to get an ABN by Group B, did so, and billed them for work performed as this business.
  • When filling out my return I noted that my pay from Company X was prefilled under 'salaries and wages', but I was also requested to provide information about my activities as a sole trader.
  • I filled in the sole trader info and filed my return.
  • I then noticed that the amount prefilled for 'salaries and wages' from Company X appeared to correspond to the total remuneration from activities for both groups.
  • So it looks like I have double-counted my income from work Group B by filling the sole-trader section.

What's the correct way to amend this? Subtract income from prefill corresponding to sole-trader activity? Zero out sole-trader income? Something else?


Thanks in advance.

Hi @treesitter


If you were told you needed an ABN and provided invoices for payment then you should get in touch with the company X to amend their records to update what they've reported to us. Did you complete a TFN declaration for them?
