  • I think I’m going to bail on that 1st birthday this weekend. The only people I know at this birthday are the parents and they’re going to be busy socialising with everyone, and I’ll probably feel awkward in this setting being childless. I’ll just message the day before that I’m sick and don’t want to spread germs. Does this make me a bad friend? I’ll plan a catch up with this friend in a few weeks and still give a present then.







  • Check your employment agreement - it might say you need need your employer’s permission to have a side gig.

    You have to issue invoices with your ABN on them. I use Xero for my invoicing, but my side gig is my whole gig so it’s worth paying for proper accounting software. There’s probably a cheaper (or free) option out there for creating invoices.

    If you’re not registered for GST as well, then I think you don’t need to charge any GST for your services (do a check on this). GST reg is needed if you’ll earn over $75k in a year.

    You declare the income for your side gigs in your tax return and pay tax to ATO at that point.
