Rules for claiming a work deduction

To claim a deduction for work-related expenses, you must meet the 3 golden rules:

  • You must have spent the money and you weren’t reimbursed.

  • The expense must directly relate to earning your income.

  • You must have a record to prove it (usually a receipt).​
