EOFY can be stressful for hospitality venue owners. Between payroll, supplier invoices, stocktake and chasing paperwork, it’s easy for valuable deductions to slip through the cracks.
The good news? Many hospitality businesses are sitting on legitimate business expenses they simply forget to claim.
Whether you run a pub, café, restaurant, bar or multi-venue group, here are seven commonly overlooked hospitality expenses worth reviewing before June 30.
Modern hospitality businesses rely heavily on technology, but many owners forget just how many recurring software costs add up over the year.
This can include:
Monthly subscriptions may seem small individually, but together they can represent a significant operational cost.
EOFY is also a great time to review whether your current tech stack is actually helping your venue run more efficiently — or simply creating extra admin.
Be on the lookout for EOFY deals with POS and payment providers – better yet, bundle the two together to streamline operations and save on monthly fees.
Card payment fees are now one of the biggest operational expenses in hospitality.
Between EFTPOS terminals, online ordering commissions and payment gateway fees, venues can lose thousands annually without real visibility into the total cost.
Many operators focus heavily on food and labour percentages while underestimating how much payment processing impacts profitability.
Review:
These expenses are often fully deductible and worth properly categorising before tax time.
Training costs are commonly overlooked in hospitality because they’re spread across different parts of the business.
Potential deductions may include:
With staff retention still a major challenge across hospitality, investing in training has become more important than ever — and those investments may also provide tax benefits.
Small repairs throughout the year can easily get buried inside supplier invoices.
Think about:
Because these costs happen gradually, many venues fail to track the true annual spend on maintenance.
A quick EOFY review of supplier accounts can uncover a surprising amount of deductible operational expenditure.
Hospitality businesses spend heavily on presentation, but uniform-related expenses are often inconsistently recorded.
This may include:
Even smaller appearance-related purchases can accumulate substantially across a full team over 12 months.
Many venue owners think only of major advertising campaigns at tax time, but everyday marketing spend matters too.
Common deductible marketing expenses can include:
EOFY is also the ideal time to assess which marketing activities actually drove customer traffic and repeat business.
The most successful venues don’t just spend on marketing — they measure it.
One of the fastest-growing expense categories in hospitality is business intelligence and analytics.
More venues are investing in tools that help them:
While some operators still rely on spreadsheets, data-driven venues are increasingly using analytics platforms to uncover hidden profit opportunities.
The ability to turn venue data into actionable insights is quickly becoming a competitive advantage in hospitality.
EOFY shouldn’t just be about lodging paperwork. It’s one of the best opportunities all year to assess the health of your venue.
Strong hospitality operators use this period to ask:
The venues entering the new financial year strongest are usually the ones making decisions backed by clear reporting and accurate data.
