Tax Tips for Australian Taxpayers

 

Over the coming months, we will be adding to and improving this website as a knowledge base for taxpayers. Of coarse, the publishers recommend you seek professional help in lodging your tax return, but it's good for you to have a few ideas about what kind of things are deductible so you know what receipts to hold onto.

 

General Tax Deductions

 

Some general tax deductions that may be available to you include the following:

  • Donation of more than $2 to approved charities;

  • Bank charges;

  • Uniforms and protective clothing: costs to buy, maintain and launder;

  • Overtime meals;

  • Travelling expenses;

  • Outdoor protection such as hats, sunscreen and sunglasses;

  • Work related telephone calls;

  • Tools and equipment;

  • Computers and office equipment; and

  • Investment associated expenses;

This is by no means a comprehensive list: the Australian Tax Legislation consists of over 10,000 pages. We recommend seeking professional advice from a registered tax agent to lodge your return. The information published in this site is intended to give you an idea of what kind of receipts you should be keeping, and what information you might need to provide to your tax agent.

 

The information contained in this website is intended only as a guide, and should not be relied on to prepare a tax return in accordance with Australian taxation law. The publishers accept no responsibility for errors, omissions or any damages caused by the improper use of this guide.
