Tax Deductions for Retail Assistants
Some deductions that may be available to retail
assistants include:
-
Memberships to unions and professional
associations;
-
Cost of purchasing, maintaining and laundering
compulsory uniforms;
-
Tools and equipment (deductible if less than
$1,000 or depreciable if over $1,000) as well as any costs incurred
to insure them;
-
Costs of till shortages the employee is
required to make up (note, employers have no right to force you to
make up any shortages, and you should seek advice from your union if
they try).
Retail assistants may also be entitled to general tax
deductions that are not work specific, such as investment deductions or
car expenses deductions. |
