WEBINAR: Tax Basics for Creatives

A Create NSW webinar in partnership with CREATIVE PLUS BUSINESS.

Set yourself up as a freelancer and avoid the most common pitfalls.

Tax is painful but an inevitable part of surviving and thriving in the creative industries. Managing the annual and ongoing obligations of tax as a creative means getting an understanding of what’s involved in the first place, getting organised, and learning about the unique position that creative professionals hold in the Australian tax landscape. It’s not fun, but a few simple tips and tricks (and
a friendly face) can help.

‘Tax Basics for Creatives’ is a workshop that covers the basics of how tax works for creative professionals, the intersection between individual tax and small business, and how key creative tax rulings can help creative practitioners in the tax world.
