23.01.2022 Jamiesons Blog Aug 2017 Part 2 What can I claim against my tax? It’s tax time again. What can you claim to reduce your tax?... Please take just 2 minutes to read this blog article. We’ll explain: Deductions you can claim The importance of a fantastic tax accountant The tax trap you need to avoid Links to more information about specific deductions Deductions you can claim According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) website, there are 3 things you need to claim a work-related deduction: 1. You must have spent the money yourself and weren’t reimbursed; 2. It must be directly related to earning your income; and 3. You must have a record to prove it. The ATO allows you to claim up to $300 for work related expenses without having kept any receipts but you must have spent the money and it must be related to your employment. If the expense was for both work and private purposes, you can only claim a deduction for the work-related portion. If the cost of any item is over $300, it will have to be depreciated (a portion of the cost claimed each year over its effective life). The tax trap you need to avoid Everyone wants to increase their tax refund (or reduce their tax payable). We’re here to help you to do this! Tax saving strategies generally involve you spending money on something which creates for you a tax deduction. The something you spend your money on could be an expense, an asset, or an investment related payment (like superannuation or prepaid interest on an investment loan). Jamiesons Blog Aug 2017 Part 2 However please don’t fall into a common trap of spending money just to get a tax deduction. You only save tax based on the marginal tax rate proportion on the amount you spend, NOT the full amount you spend. For example, if you earn say $85,000 a year, your marginal tax rate (including Medicare levy) is 34.5%. This means any extra dollar you earn will be taxed at 34.5%, and any extra dollar you claim as a deduction will save you 34.5%. So, if you spend $100 on something that you can claim a deduction for, you will get back $34.50 from the ATO. But it will still cost you $65.50. So only spend money on what you NEED, not just to create extra tax deductions for yourself. Links to more information about specific deductions It’s our job as your accountants to make the lodgement of your Tax Returns as easy and simple as possible. We do this every day, so we know all the ins and outs of what to claim to make it easy for you.
