Frequently Asked Questions, St Kilda Bookkeeper
Do you work with St Kilda hospitality and entertainment businesses?
Yes. True Tally works with cafes, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues in St Kilda, Balaclava, and Elwood. We handle Hospitality Award payroll, daily EFTPOS and cash reconciliation, cost of goods tracking, and BAS lodgement.
Do you work with health and wellness businesses in St Kilda?
Yes. Pilates studios, yoga practices, physiotherapy clinics, and other health businesses in St Kilda have specific bookkeeping needs, particularly around GST-free health services, mixed supply (GST and GST-free income), and practitioner pay arrangements. True Tally handles the GST complexity correctly in Xero.
What is mixed GST supply and how does it affect my St Kilda health business?
Mixed GST supply means your business earns both taxable (GST) and GST-free income from the same practice. For example, a physiotherapy clinic earns GST-free income from health services but GST-inclusive income from selling consumables or equipment. Xero must be set up with separate income accounts and correct GST codes for each type. True Tally configures this for health businesses in St Kilda.
