We met with Frankie to kickstart and grow her online business, The Dirt Company. We advised Frankie on the formation of her business structure, so that she and her early stage investors could access R&D tax concessions in the future.
We also assisted Frankie with her Xero set up and worked with her online developers to make sure that Xero integrated with her ecommerce technology, giving Frankie the perfect foundation to grow from.

This will depend on your website and what future developments you plan to make to it.
Items that are damaged, obsolete or expired can be written off, and items that have lost some commercial value may have their value written down.
This creates non-cash expenses that lead to a lower reported income in your profit and loss, and therefore a reduced tax liability.
The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has a list of questions to apply to ecommerce businesses. Most questions are around the intention of the person selling.
The more times you answer 'yes', the more likely the ATO will consider it a business.
There are several great platforms that will connect with Xero, including Shopify for online retail, A2X for Amazon marketplace selling, and Stripe for accepting payments. Talk to one of our ecommerce experts to see if your app is compatible.
