Gig Economy
An economic model characterised by short-term, flexible work arrangements rather than permanent employment. Reselling is often described as gig economy work. The ATO's Sharing Economy Reporting Regime, which captures eBay and other platform seller data, applies to gig economy workers broadly. Tax obligations for gig workers are the same as for any sole trader — income is assessable and business expenses are deductible.
