What sort of things do you claim back on tax??????

[GlitterMum]

Hey everyone,
Just thought I would start a thread to find out what sort of things other people claim back on tax.
I am sure heaps of you out there know of lil things that I don't know about that you can claim for

Here are some of the things I claim:
Dry Cleaing my suits
Home office ie electricity/water etc
my reading glasses
my petrol to & from branches
public transport costs to and from courses

not really sure of any others


This might get interesting


Cant wait to hear what everyone else claims .....................

Just the boring stuff - Union fees, washing of uniform, shoes, charitable donations and private health insurance.

Glasses? how?

oh yeh I forgot about my charities

My glasses are only to be used whilst on the computer, and I am usually only on the computer at work.
My accountant said because I need them to do my job, then I can claim them.
I had never had to wear glasses until I had to sit on a computer 9 hours a day

The stock standard stuff - uniform, washing, safety gear, charities etc plus I also get to claim (for the last time) special zone allowance and also mileage going out to suppliers etc

My DH claims uniforms, washing, tools, fuel expenses as he has to transport his own tools to & from work (he's an electrician), charities and that's probably about it... we also claim our internet and other school related expenses for the kids through the education refund thingo.
