Other Claims and Refunds

Below are examples the ATO will also accept when it comes to refunds or reducing your taxable income totals. Some you can prove if you pay via bank transfer and some are based on trust/location.

  • Dry cleaning bills for your uniform or suits
  • VPN for working from home
  • A portion of your home NBN internet package and energy bill for working from home
  • If you work in multiple locations or need a WIFI dongle at capacity above a simple hotspot from your phone
  • Your phone contract, 90% of your own data and call allowances is usually consumed with work use 
  • Home laundry, hanging laundry on the line ruins them with the strength of the UV rays. I use a dryer, then claim for its use
  • Location, if you live in NQLD or NT over 6 months there is a tax-offset
