Can I claim deductions for work-related expenses?
Yes, you can claim deductions for work-related expenses if the expenses were incurred while performing your job duties. However, to claim these deductions, the expenses must be directly related to your job and not reimbursed by your employer. Some common deductible work-related expenses include uniforms, tools, equipment, and home office expenses. It is essential to keep accurate records, such as receipts and invoices, to substantiate your claims. However, not all expenses are eligible, such as private expenses or those related to commuting to and from work. The ATO may conduct random audits to ensure claims are legitimate, so it's vital to be accurate and honest when claiming deductions for work-related expenses. More detailed information can be found on the ATO website.
