РУСФОРУМ АВСТРАЛИЯ

Если вы еще не сделали Tax Return, посмотрите в нижеприведенный список, может там есть что-то, что вы забыли списать?

1. Clothing and costumes

If you have to wear specific items as part of your job such as a uniform, a suit or any safety equipment, you can claim some or all of them against tax.

2. Laundry and dry cleaning

Any cost you incur in the laundering or cleaning of your work clothes and equipment is tax deductible too, including dry cleaning costs, alterations or repairs.

3. Makeup

Actors and entertainers working in performance industries can claim special purpose stage makeup, but beware that this doesn’t apply to normal makeup purchased at a department store.

4. Beauty products

If you work in an environment that’s harsh on your skin, you can claim skin products. Flight attendants are able claim rehydrating moisturisers and conditioners.

5. Sun protection

Outdoor workers can claim for items that protect against the sun, such as sunglasses, hats and sunscreen.

6. First aid courses

You can claim a deduction for the cost of first aid training courses if you are required to undertake such training for work.

7. Newspapers and magazines

Journalists and people who work in media can claim a deduction for newspapers and magazines that they buy for work research purposes.

8. Keeping fit

According to the ATO, you can claim a deduction for fitness expenses if your job requires you to maintain a very high level of fitness, for example as a dancer or performer.

9. Coloured contact lenses

If you’re an actor and have to change your eye colour for a role, you can claim tinted contact lenses.

10. Fob watch

You’ll have to be a nurse to claim this one, but if you are it can be tax deductible. Regular wristwatches can’t be claimed though.

11. Pay TV

If your job requires you to have to access pay TV, you can claim a deduction for the work-related portion of your bill.

Estate agents on commission can claim a deduction for the cost of gifts or greeting cards bought for work purposes.

13. Political donations

If you make a political donation or pay a political party membership, you may be able to claim a deduction.

14. Charitable gifts

People who give a certain amount of money to a registered charity can claim a tax deduction on that amount.

15. Microsoft Windows

As the ATO’s e-tax return only works on a PC, Mac users can claim the cost of Windows or emulation software bought for filing taxes. This may change if the ATO starts supporting Apple this year.

16. Taxis and train tickets

While you can’t claim basic commuting costs from home to work, you can claim the cost of travelling during your working day, for example taking a bus, train or taxi to a meeting.

17. Car expenses

You can only claim for driving between your home and your workplace in certain circumstances, such as if you need to carry bulky tools or equipment for work. You can claim for driving between two separate places of work, or for attending meetings or appointments for work.

18. Travel expenses

If you travel for work, you may be able to claim a deduction for airfares, meals, accommodation, travel insurance and incidentals.

19. Home internet

If you use your home internet for work as well, you can claim that percentage against your taxable income. This doesn’t include set-up or connection costs though.

20. Self-education

If you’ve taken a course relevant to your current work skills, you can usually deduct it. But you can’t claim training for a new career.
