Completing your tax return

If you’re earning PSI, then you need to report this as PSI in your tax return even if you’re a personal services business (PSB) and the PSI rules don't apply to you.

How you report your PSI depends on whether the PSI rules apply to your income, and whether you operate as a sole trader, company, partnership or trust.

You will also need to complete reconciliation labels in a company, partnership or trust tax return if the PSI rules apply to your income.
