FAQ

Contract Project Management

Contract Project Management offers several benefits in Australia:

  • Cost Efficiency: Businesses can hire project managers for specific projects, avoiding long term salary commitments.
  • Flexibility: Contractors can be brought in as needed, allowing businesses to scale resources based on project demands.
  • Specialised Expertise: Contract Project Managers often have niche skills and extensive experience, enabling them to handle complex or industry-specific projects effectively.
  • Faster Onboarding: Contractors are accustomed to quickly adapting to new environments, reducing the time needed to initiate a project. 
  • Focus on Deliverables: Contractors are results-driven and focused on achieving project goals within agreed timelines.
  • Reduced Risk: The contractual nature minimises risks associated with employee turnover, redundancy, or underperformance.
  • Compliance and Local Knowledge: In Australia, many contractors are familiar with local regulations and standards, ensuring compliance in project execution.
  • Access to a Broader Talent Pool: Hiring contractors opens opportunities to work with professionals who might not be available for permanent roles. This approach is particularly useful for businesses seeking to manage short-term or high-stakes projects efficiently.

Contract Project Management financial benefits.

Contract Project Management in Australia has the potential to offer specific tax benefits that can be advantageous for businesses. 

  • Deductible Business Expenses: Payments made to contract project managers can often be classified as business expenses and are deductible against taxable income. This reduces the overall tax liability for the company.
  • No Payroll Tax Obligations: Unlike permanent employees, contractors are typically not subject to payroll tax. Businesses can avoid this additional tax expense, provided the contractor arrangement complies with the relevant laws, such as the "genuine contractor" test.
  • Reduced Superannuation Obligations: Generally, businesses are not required to pay superannuation for contractors who operate as independent entities, such as sole traders or through their own companies. This further reduces costs compared to hiring employees.
  • GST Credits: If the contractor is registered for GST, businesses can claim input tax credits on the GST portion of payments made to them, reducing the effective cost of hiring.
  • Employee Benefits: Since contractors are not employees, businesses are not liable for leave entitlements, workers compensation insurance, or termination payouts, all of which can be tax-deductible but costly.
  • Flexibility in Cost Allocation: Businesses can allocate costs directly to specific projects, streamlining budgeting and improving financial transparency, which can assist in tax planning and compliance.
