Can I claim a handbag | 2023 Gotax

 

The answer is generally no, EXCEPT in certain situations.

You must need to carry the items for work and the bag or case must be suitable for that purpose. You must work out if you can claim the cost of the item in the income year you buy it or the decline in value over its effective life.
