Sole trader or partnership
So the TAC can work out your income support quickly and accurately, please send the information that applies to your situation as soon as possible.
If you are claiming lost earnings, please send your:
- personal income taxation returns for the last three years;
- business profit and loss statement for the last three years; and/or
- partnership taxation return (if you are in a partnership).
If you are claiming the cost of hiring someone to work for you, please send all of the following:
- the name and address of the person you employed to work in your place
- information about the days and hours the person is working
- details of how much the person is being paid, and
- evidence of payment, such as copies of cheque butts or a bank statement.
Please note: if you need ongoing substitute labour, you will need to continue sending in details of your substitute labour costs and your certificates of capacity.
Self-employed people other than sole traders or partnerships
If your business operates as a proprietary limited company and you receive a distribution and a salary or wage, please send evidence of your wage or salary for the six weeks preceding your accident.
You may have already provided this information when you lodged your claim with the TAC.
If your business operates as a family trust and you receive distributions, contact the TAC and ask to speak to an income assessor. The income assessor may request the distribution details you provided on your taxation returns.
