What you can claim

You can claim expenses you paid that relate to earning your income, as long as you weren't reimbursed and you have records. These are the most common ones we look for.

Working from home

Claim 70 cents for every hour you work from home (the ATO's fixed rate for 2025-26), covering energy, internet, phone and stationery. You need a record of your actual hours, such as a timesheet or diary. Desks, chairs and computers can be claimed on top.

The new $1,000 standard deduction

From the 2026-27 income year, eligible workers can claim a $1,000 standard deduction for work-related expenses without keeping receipts. If your real expenses are higher, we'll claim those instead, backed by your records.

Car and travel for work

Driving between work sites, to clients or carrying bulky tools can be claimed using cents per kilometre (up to 5,000 km) or a logbook. Your normal trip from home to work generally can't.

Tools, equipment and devices

Items used for work that cost $300 or less can be claimed straight away. Dearer items, like laptops and phones, are claimed over their working life, for the share you use them for work.

Self-education

Courses, textbooks and conference costs can be claimed when they maintain or improve the skills you use in your current job.

Memberships, donations and insurance

Union and professional association fees, donations of $2 or more to registered charities, and income protection insurance held outside super are all deductible.

Super contributions

Personal contributions to super can be claimed if you lodge a notice of intent with your fund before you lodge your return. They count towards your concessional cap of $32,500 for 2026-27.

Investment costs and our fee

Interest on money borrowed to buy shares, investment account fees and the cost of preparing your tax return are all deductible.

Own a rental property?

Rental property owners can claim the costs of earning rent for the period the property is rented or genuinely available for rent.

Claim straight away

Loan interest, property agent fees, council rates, water charges, land tax, landlord insurance, advertising for tenants, and repairs that fix wear and tear.

Claim over time

Capital works on the building (generally 2.5% a year) and the decline in value of new fittings like carpets, blinds and appliances. A depreciation schedule from a quantity surveyor often pays for itself.

Common traps

Travel to inspect a residential rental isn't deductible, improvements and initial repairs aren't claimed in one go, and second-hand fittings in residential rentals generally can't be depreciated.

Negative gearing and capital gains are changing

Legislation passed in June 2026 changes how property investors are taxed:

  • From 1 July 2027, losses on established residential properties bought after 7:30pm on 12 May 2026 can only be offset against rental income or residential property gains, not your salary. Properties bought before then keep the current rules, and eligible new builds are exempt.
  • From 1 July 2027, the 50% capital gains discount is replaced by indexation of your cost base and a minimum 30% tax on capital gains. Gains made before that date keep the 50% discount.

If you're buying, selling or restructuring property in the next couple of years, talk to us first.
