Posting this as a deal as it may benefit someone who runs a small business incl sole traders.

Rebates to offset the costs of eligible NSW and local government fees and charges due and paid from 1 March 2021. These include, but are not limited to:

• food authority licences
• liquor licences
• tradesperson licences
• event fees
• outdoor seating fees
• council rates
• road user tolls for business use

Full list of eligible fees

Eligibility
To be eligible for this rebate, small businesses (including non-employing sole traders) and not-for-profit organisations must:

• have total Australian wages below the NSW Government 2020–21 payroll tax threshold of $1.2 million
• have an Australian Business Number (ABN) registered in NSW and/or have business premises physically located and operating in NSW.

Only small businesses with employees are eligible to claim 50% of the cost of RATs, up to the rebate value of $3,000. Businesses without employees will not be able to use the rebate to claim the cost of RATs. If you are a sole trader with employees, we may ask for further information to assess your claim.

Note: Only one $3,000 rebate is available for each ABN.

  I attempted to claim home rates and car rego with this, but they said both need to be in my company's name (they're not) and I needed proof within the past 3 months.. So I cancelled my claim.

    If you are sole trader with no business name, why do they expect you to get company name?

  • 

    hindo on 12/04/2022 - 07:23

    I have claimed both of these as a sole trader without issue

      JoelT on 12/04/2022 - 07:28

      I am sole trader with a company name, but my home rates and rego are in my wife & I's name.

      Maybe I should try again.

        Some of RMS staff so incompetent so I will suggest apply again.

        If your rates notices are under both you and partner name, you should be at least able to claim 50%.

            @toyapple9: If your business is home based, you should both be able to claim 50% of council rates for this property. Your wife will need to apply separately.

              @Ash-Say: If you claim council rates on your property eg working from home, wont that raise capital gains tax issues if you sell the place down the track?

                @BigMac2000: I don't know TBH

                Probably worth ringing RMS to clarify.

  Under ABN, Can we claim RAT test for two employees going for international holidays?

  sasangeleus on 12/04/2022 - 08:32

  So your saying my wife runs her painting (artworks) business from home as a sole trader mean we can claim 50% of rates ?

  The list of things to claim is enormous. Is it the case hat you can put in one claim and pick as many things as you can, with a maximum rebate value of 3k? And that if you claimed a smaller amount then you wouldn't be able to claim again if you found something else? That would make it hard if you get a poor service NSW rep

    @jackson..total amount is 3k..so you can submit one or multiple seperate claim.Once they are approved. Amount will be reduced from total 3k and you can submit future claims until June2022 for remaining balance.

  Looking forward to claiming back some Road Toll fees too.

• 

  PeterN on 12/04/2022 - 09:40

  Claimed a few road tolls initially before it got updated to $3k. Tried to claim the remaining $1k with the same process however the service nsw rep keeps asking for a tax invoice? E toll don’t send tax invoices they send monthly statements, has anyone had this issue?

  HiEthan on 12/04/2022 - 10:11

  Claimed water rate and council rate as a sole trader without issue.

  • 

    Ash-Say on 12/04/2022 - 10:41

    Which category did you select for water rates?

  So I've got a small Pty Ltd business with no employees operating from home - which I am renting.. Anything I can claim from the above?

  Shouldn’t this topic move to forum?
  This is not a bargain…

  ayakim on 14/04/2022 - 18:28

  How soon can the rebate be paid after you submitted the claim?

• 

  macr0hard on 31/05/2022 - 10:40

  Anyone knows where to update your bank account in services NSW? Made a claim and the message says if approved they'll pay directly to the account linked to the business but there's nowhere to put in the bank account details

  kgree92 on 24/06/2022 - 18:59

  So water rates, council rates. How about strata lol?
  What else is good to claim for a small home business?

  • 

    Ash-Say on 24/06/2022 - 21:42

    I don't think you can claim strata
