Work Related Expenses:

If clients are claiming a work-related expense deduction, they need to satisfy the following:

  • they must have spent the money
  • it must be related to their job
  • they must have a record to prove it.
  • Claim all work related deductions to minimize your tax bill and hopefully get yourself a tax refund. Think of everything you’ve had to buy to carry out your job this financial year.
  • If you work from home you can even claim part of your rent, internet connection and electricity bills. Don’t forget your charity donations!
  • If you can’t find receipts, go back and see if they can give you a copy of the receipt or invoice. Bank and credit card statements showing details of purchases can also be used.  (Source: www.ato.gov.au)
