Self-Employed Tax Workshop: Records, Commission and Rental Income

The slides explain separate reporting of gross receipts, allowable costs and personal rental income.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Business income and evidence

Self-employment includes sole proprietors, partners and persons carrying on a profession or vocation. The workshop emphasises five-year records, source documents, asset schedules and separation of personal bank transactions. Commission income is reported gross, including additional sources not pre-filled by payers; expenses are reported separately. Personal costs, unsupported estimates and unreasonable related-party payments are identified as common errors. A pre-filled return still requires a completeness check.

Rental and corrective action

The rental section covers gross rent and related payments, legal-ownership allocation and the difference between revenue repairs and capital expenditure. It illustrates the residential deemed-expense option and mortgage interest separately. The voluntary-disclosure section explains that eligibility depends on timing, cooperation and the scope of any existing enquiry. Use the workshop to organise records and identify issues, then apply the current rules for the relevant return year; a seminar example is not a blanket approval of a deduction.
