Notes

In this example, the contractor John Smith is a sole trader. He has verified his ABN is active. He has declared he is registered for GST, so Apex Building Projects will pay him GST inclusive. He has declared he is exempt for Workers Compensation because he is a sole trader with no employees in NSW, which is a specific exemption in that state. However, he provided his superannuation details because he understands that as an individual contractor, the principal may still need to pay super if the contract is mostly for his labour.
