Can I sell art without an LLC?

Can you sell art without an LLC, yes you can in Australia because LLC is US term, in Australia equivalent is company or Pty Ltd, and most Australian artists sell art as sole trader with ABN without company, which is perfectly legal and common. You do not need to register company to sell art, you can sell as sole trader with ABN, which is free to get from Australian Business Register, or as partnership, and you can sell at markets, galleries, online via Etsy, Instagram, Shopify and your own website. You must have ABN if you sell regularly and earn over $75K you must register for GST, otherwise GST optional. You need to declare income from art sales in tax return, and you can claim expenses like materials, insurance, studio rent and marketing as deductions. Gallery commissions and market fees are deductible. LLC or Pty Ltd company is only needed if you have high turnover over $200K, employ staff, want limited liability protection so company liable not you personally, or want to distribute income via company tax rate 25% vs personal marginal up to 45%. For most emerging and mid-career artists, sole trader is simplest, with public liability insurance $10M to $20M required by markets and galleries, and fine art insurance for transit. So yes, you can sell art without LLC or company, as sole trader with ABN, which is what about 80% of Australian artists do, and it is legal and tax-effective, with company only needed for asset protection and high turnover.
