Can You Claim Soap as a Business Expense?

It’s that time of year…..When it comes to tax time, small business owners often wonder: Can I claim soap as a business expense? The answer is — yes!

When Soap Is Deductible

According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), you can claim expenses that are directly related to earning your assessable income

. This includes items used to protect staff from health hazards — such as hand sanitiser, antibacterial wipes, and yes, soapif used for business purposes.

For example:

  • A café providing soap for staff hygiene. (I recommend Batch Four)

  • A beauty salon using soap for client treatments. (I recommend Marilyn Mild)

  • A tradesperson using heavy-duty soap to clean up after work. (I recommend Workshop Tough)

    Our soap ticks all the boxes. SOAP BY SELLERS. Look Good. Smell Good. And now Tax Deductible Good!!!
