If you believe you provided a high-quality service, but the Customer is not satisfied and does not want to confirm the task has been completed so that you can receive payment, there are a few steps that should help. If you try to negotiate and discuss a problem with a Customer and it still doesn't work, you can ask the BorisDoes Support Team for help. The representative will speak to both parties, review all presented documents, and use the evidence to resolve the dispute. It's a good idea to save proof of task completion, such as screenshots, photos, and reviews, in case of future conflicts.

The BorisDoes Smart Contract is a BorisDoes feature that helps Customers, Taskers, and Businesses work together without risk. This can be compared to a regular escrow deposit. The Customer deposits the money with BorisDoes, and the Tasker or Business only gets the money after the task is completed successfully.

You can complete tasks and have tasks completed all in the same place!

Explain to the Customer what happened and politely refuse to perform the work.

Only the Customer can extend the task duration. Politely ask him or her to do it.

For Taskers, you have to perform the chosen work on time and make sure that the Customer is satisfied with the result. For Customers, it is necessary to clearly define the task and make adjustments to the Tasker’s work (if necessary) so that everyone is satisfied with the results.

Any tasks that breach Australian legislation or require the work from a field you're unfamiliar with.

After the task is 100% completed, click on the "The task is completed" button. Once the Customer confirms the completion, the money will be transferred to the Tasker’s account.

BorisDoes Support is ready to help the users with questions 24/7.

You shouldn’t worry about the ATO if you follow the advice when working through BorisDoes. However, if you don’t declare your earnings, you’ll get in trouble. Besides the tax money, you will also need to repay fines and interest charges. If you have any questions, you can always consult your tax agent. They will try to ensure that you’re ATO obedient and to minimize the tax you should pay.

Yes, you need to declare the money you receive from BorisDoes every time, even if it’s only a couple of dollars. This money is considered your official income, and ATO can get the records about income from BorisDoes at any time.

BorisDoes understands that when BorisDoes isn’t your only source of income, it may be hard to record everything you earn. Because of that, BorisDoes recommends that you use a spreadsheet or some form of accounting software where you can record when you completed a task, where you did it, and how much you were paid for it. Don’t forget to include all your receipts if you buy something for a task on BorisDoes. You can also create a separate bank account specifically for income from BorisDoes.

If you want to work through BorisDoes, you should register for an ABN. This will prove that you’re a sole trader business, and it will help you at tax time. You should also remember that when you have no ABN, a customer can withhold the highest tax level (47%) from the money they are going to pay you and pay it to the ATO. However, if you have already registered ABN, a customer won’t be able to withhold any taxes from you, and you will pay them on your own when it’s tax time.

You should register for GST only if you earn more than $75,000 per year from BorisDoes and/or any other freelance work. After registering for it, you need to include GST on your invoices and lodge Business Activity Statements (BAS) quarterly. If you’re not sure how to do it correctly or you have any questions, it’s best to consult your tax agent for further assistance.

All your earnings on BorisDoes are considered to be your income by ATO. BorisDoes doesn’t withhold any taxes, but you should pay the tax owing when you do your tax return. Because of that, don’t forget to enter BorisDoes into your tax return. To make your taxable income as low as it can be, don’t forget to include BorisDoes related expenses. After receiving your tax return, the ATO will calculate all taxes and inform you how much you need to pay in the end.

It depends on how you use it: if you buy an item solely to complete a task, you can write it down as a tax deduction. However, if you purchase an item for personal use or partially for personal use, you shouldn’t either claim it as a tax deduction or apportion the work and personal use. It’s also important that an item you buy for your own money has a receipt for it to be claimed as a tax deduction. For example, buying a sledgehammer and using it for BorisDoes tasks only for 30% of the whole time, you can claim 30% of the total cost as your tax deduction.
