• Answer:

  It sounds like there are lots of personal allowances and deductions available to you. Your study expenses would probably be tax deductible if its related to your course. You can also claim for the cost of travelling to and from your course, course textbooks and equipment. Your travel between work locations is tax deductible. If you don't have receipts you can use the cents per kilometre method to calculate your total claim (see this video/blog post - http://www.xpnsit.com.au/content/using-your-car-business) You could claim for the laundry and or dry cleaning of your work related clothing, you don't need receipts but do need to be able to show how you calculated the figure (see this short video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_IwoRNqJkg) You can also think about any accom or meal expenses, magazine subscriptions, sun cream, sun hat and other protective clothing. There are alot of options. There is a breakdown here for a tradie, I know its a bit different for you, but a number of the categories are the same - http://www.xpnsit.com.au/testimonial/tradies-tax-calculator
