Mainly for labour.
Consider whether personal labour represents more than half of the contract’s dollar value.
Pushworth / Show Delivery Declaration
For Sole Trader ABN holders delivering shows through the Pushworth Marketplace. Work with your accountant to document your show’s labour component and commercial costs.
Gather your show costs and supporting records.
Have your accountant review the labour component and SG position.
Submit your details and accountant’s certification.
01 / Consult with your accountant
This declaration records the commercial composition of your show, including the cost of personal performance labour and other delivery components.
This form is for Sole Trader ABN holders who deliver shows through the Pushworth Marketplace and wish to declare the commercial composition of their show.
Keep receipts and supporting records for each show-delivery cost, in addition to your personal performance labour. Your accountant should review the breakdown and certify the information provided.
The declaration identifies the labour component cost of your live show delivery. Pushworth relies on the information you provide and does not determine, verify or certify your business structure, accounting treatment or taxation position.
02 / ATO guidance
The ATO’s general contractor guidance considers the nature of the payment and contract. Having an ABN does not, by itself, remove SG obligations.
Consider whether personal labour represents more than half of the contract’s dollar value.
Consider whether payment is for the individual’s personal labour and skills, rather than for a specified result.
Consider whether the individual must perform the work themselves and cannot delegate it.
The general “mainly for labour” test is only part of the assessment. Ask your accountant to consider the performer provisions, including section 12(8), and the actual payment arrangements. Listing business expenses does not automatically make a performance payment exempt from SG.
03 / Prepare your records
Use this checklist to gather the costs and records you will discuss with your accountant.
Separate your personal performance labour from any additional performer costs.
Include the insurance cost attributable to the show, supported by your records.
Identify the equipment costs attributable to delivering the show.
Include relevant production and technical service costs.
Record paid advertising costs associated with the show.
Identify marketing and promotional costs for the show.
Include relevant transport and accommodation costs.
Record the costs of engineers and crew engaged for the show.
Identify administration costs attributable to the show.
Document any other relevant show-delivery costs for your accountant to review.
