What’s new this year?
This year the ATO is writing to around 218,000 people employed in the following occupations:
* building construction project managers and supervisors;
* building construction labourers; and
* sales and marketing managers.
Travel to work claims
Many building construction labourers drive a vehicle to work each day.
If they can prove they have had to carry bulky equipment then this travel becomes a deductible expense, as long as:
* they can verify that their employer requires them to carry such equipment as part of their job; and
* there is no alternative storage solution at the workplace. If the employer does provide secure storage, then no deduction.
