The ATO has provided a set of straightforward guidelines to ensure the accuracy of your claim for work-related expenses:
• The expense must have been incurred during the year for which you are making the claim.
• The expense must be related to work and not personal in nature.
• Merely receiving an allowance from your employer does not guarantee you a deduction.
• If your total claims exceed $300, written evidence is required.
Note: This information is for general guidance only and may not suit your individual circumstances. Please consult a qualified professional before taking action.
