Common questions
Can I claim my work boots and hi-vis?
Protective clothing and footwear, such as steel-cap boots and hi-vis, is generally deductible. Everyday clothing such as jeans or plain shirts is not.
Can I claim the drive to work?
Travel from home to your regular workplace is usually private. Travel between job sites, or carrying bulky tools you need and can't store on site, can be claimable.
