Before you claim anything

The 3 Golden Rules of Deductions

1

You paid it

The expense must have come out of your own pocket, and not been reimbursed by anyone else.

2

It's for work

It must directly relate to earning your income — not a private or personal expense.

3

You have evidence

You need a record — a receipt, invoice or log — to support the claim if the ATO asks.
