The accounting challenges ndis providers face
We have seen these issues repeatedly — and know exactly how to resolve them.
GST-free vs taxable NDIS income
Most disability support services are GST-free under the GST Act, but some plan management and coordination services are taxable. Getting this wrong triggers ATO audit risk. We ensure your BAS correctly classifies every service type.
Support worker payroll & Payday Super
High staff turnover, complex casual rosters and the new Payday Super obligation (from 1 July 2026) make NDIS payroll one of the most demanding in any sector. We manage payroll and STP end-to-end.
Participant funding reconciliation
Matching NDIS plan funding with actual service delivery and invoicing requires careful reconciliation each month. We maintain records that align with NDIS Commission reporting requirements.
Audit and compliance readiness
The NDIS Commission and ATO can both audit your financial records. We maintain documentation standards designed to withstand scrutiny at any time.

Common questions from ndis providers
Do NDIS providers need a specialist accountant?
Yes. NDIS accounting involves GST-free income classifications, high payroll complexity across casual and shift workers, NDIS Commission compliance, and participant funding reconciliation. A general accountant unfamiliar with the sector can create serious compliance gaps. ANH Accounting has direct experience with NDIS provider accounting across Sydney.
How does the Payday Super change affect NDIS providers?
From 1 July 2026, superannuation must be paid on every pay run rather than quarterly. For NDIS providers with large, complex payrolls this is a significant operational change requiring payroll system updates and revised cash flow planning. We ensure your setup is compliant from day one.
What accounting software do you recommend for NDIS providers?
We recommend Xero for most NDIS providers. It integrates with payroll systems, supports STP Phase 2, and allows accurate reconciliation of NDIS funding against service delivery. We handle full setup, migration, and ongoing management.
Are NDIS supports GST-free, and when do I have to register for GST?
Most NDIS supports are GST-free, but you still need to register for GST once your GST turnover reaches $75,000 if you supply taxable items. Plan management and some support coordination arrangements can be treated differently, so each service line should be checked against the GST Act. We review your service schedule and make sure your BAS reflects the correct treatment.
Do I need an ABN to work as an NDIS support worker or support coordinator?
Yes, if you work as an independent contractor or sole trader you need an ABN. If you are an employee of a provider, you do not. The distinction matters because it decides who pays your super and withholds tax. We confirm your status, set up the ABN correctly and put the right tax and BAS processes in place from day one.
Should an NDIS provider be a sole trader or a company?
A sole trader is simple and cheap to start, while a company gives liability separation and a flat tax rate, which suits providers that employ staff or carry contract risk. The right answer depends on your income, staff, insurance and growth plans. We model both options before you register so you avoid costly restructuring later.
What accounting records does an NDIS audit expect?
An NDIS audit looks for evidence that services were delivered, invoiced and paid correctly. That means participant agreements, service records, invoices matched to plan funding, payroll and super records, and reconciled bank accounts. We keep your Xero file organised so records can be produced quickly, whether you face a verification or certification audit.
Can NDIS registration costs and audit fees be claimed as a tax deduction?
Generally yes. Costs of registering as a provider, audit fees, insurance and compliance costs incurred to earn assessable income are usually deductible. Some set-up costs may need to be treated differently. We review each cost and claim what is allowable.
Does it matter if participants are self-managed, plan-managed or NDIA-managed?
Yes, it affects how you invoice, how you get paid and how you reconcile receipts. Each management type has a different payment trail, so mismatches are common. We set up your invoicing and reconciliation so every payment ties back to the right participant and service.
