Using our guides

Our occupation and industry guides help you to complete your tax return, use these guides to:

  • find out what records you need to keep.

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

  1. You must have spent the money and you weren’t reimbursed.
  2. The expense must directly relate to earning your income.
  3. You must keep records that show you incur the expense (usually a receipt).
