Do influencers need to pay tax on gifted products in Australia?

It depends. If you receive products in exchange for promotion, the ATO may consider this barter income and it could be taxable. CreatorTax can assess your specific situation and ensure you're compliant.

What can influencers claim on tax in Australia?

Influencers can claim cameras, phones, lighting, editing software, home office expenses, internet, travel for content shoots, styling costs used exclusively for content, and accountant fees.

Do I need to register for GST as an influencer?

If your annual turnover exceeds $75,000, you must register for GST. Many successful influencers hit this threshold quickly. CreatorTax can handle your GST registration and quarterly BAS lodgements.
