Accounting for transport businesses in Australia
Accounting for road transport businesses has moving parts that most general accountants rarely see. Fuel tax credits change with rates and usage, trucks and trailers carry significant depreciation and finance, and drivers may be employees, contractors or a mix of both.
We work with operators running anything from a single prime mover to a mixed fleet. That means calculating and substantiating fuel tax credits, tracking running costs per vehicle, processing driver payroll and Single Touch Payroll correctly, and reporting profitability by route, customer or contract so you know which work is worth keeping.
Compliance is handled alongside the numbers: quarterly BAS, PAYG, superannuation, asset and finance schedules, and annual accounts and tax returns for your operating entity.
