22.01.2022 Do you know your tax myths from tax facts? Test your working-from-home knowledge below as we set the record straight. Myth: If I use the shortcut method, I ...can claim 80 cents per work hour plus other equipment (that costs $300 or less) to use when working from home. Fact: Under the shortcut method you can only claim 80 cents per work hour. This method covers all deductible expenses, including office furniture and technology. You cant claim any other working from home expenses on top. Myth: I can claim everything I bought to work from home (new laptop, desk, toilet paper, tea or coffee and my kids education supplies). Fact: There are three methods you can use to calculate your working from home expenses. You can choose the method that will give you the best outcome but you must meet the eligibility and record keeping requirements. You cannot claim items such as toilet paper, tea, coffee or your kids education costs, these are private expenses. Myth: I cant claim my working from home running expenses, even though I share the costs with my housemate because the bills arent in my name. Fact: Under the shortcut method multiple eligible taxpayers working from the same home can each claim 80 cents per work hour, even if the utility bill isnt in your name.

11.01.2022 Attention retail gurus! It pays to get across the deductions you can claim this tax time. If you work more than one job, you can claim the cost of trav...elling between workplaces on the same day. You generally cant claim the cost of trips between home and work, even if you have to work outside of normal business hours (eg late-night shopping). You can claim the cost of buying, hiring, mending or cleaning certain uniforms that are unique and distinctive or protective clothing your boss requires you to wear. You cant claim the cost of buying or cleaning plain clothing (eg black pants, white shirt), even if youre required to wear it or you only wear it for work. You can claim the cost of overtime meals if you worked overtime and took an overtime meal break, or your boss paid you an overtime meal allowance. You cant claim a deduction for fashion, hair or cosmetics products, even if you work in a store that sells them. Still unsure about what you can claim?

04.01.2022 No matter how you’re feeling about leaving your workplace permanently , here are some rules you need to know about notice of termination. Full-time and pa...rt-time employees usually get notice of termination under the National Employment Standards (NES). Your award, enterprise agreement or employment contract can include rules about notice, but you can’t get less notice than what the NES gives you. You can take annual leave during your notice period with your employer’s agreement, but you can’t be forced to take this leave as part of your notice period. An employer can choose to pay out the notice period instead of getting you to work it. This is called payment in lieu of notice and must be paid at the full rate of pay for the hours the employee would have worked during the notice period, including penalty rates, overtime allowances and any other separately identifiable amounts. We’ve got more info about notice periods, including how much notice you should get here: https://www.fairwork.gov.au//not/dismissal-how-much-notice
