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).
