Guest Guest6235 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 What things can you claim back on tax returns? Can you claim for appliances if you say they're for work etc and daycare for kids and has anybody got a name of somebody that does it for you & doesn't charge much. We've never had to do things like this before Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkis2000 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 We saw an accountant last year . He was adding all sorts of stuff like suncream! We're keeping receipts for our new sunnies that we just bought for this year!! We used Joubert and Bain in Joondalup. Yep you pay a fee but bearing in mind that for your first return you won't have worked a full year it's worth it as they know what they can add on. I got nearly $6k in rebate! Won't get nearly as much this year but it was quite handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arwen Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I believe you can claim for anything that is related to your job. So if you can prove you work from home you maybe able to claim some electricity/internet etc. If you are a tradie you can claim for uniform/sunscreen etc. Don't take the piss though because they do audit people. If you are a permanent resident you can claim for a rebate on daycare and this is not means tested, at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
