IT Workers, Boost your Tax Refund!

IT Workers, your job is hard enough without having to worry about what you can claim on your tax return. So we have made your life a little easier by listing the common tax deductions you can claim on your tax return (with Gotax Online of course!).

So if you have to buy computer stuff for work then you can claim these back as a deduction in your etax return.  Below is a list of the common deductions an IT worker can claim:

Computer and laptop expenses – For computers, laptops or computer equipment that costs under $300, these can be claimed straight away.  If the cost is over $300 then the item purchased must be depreciated over a number of years.  For example, the cost of a laptop is claimed over 3 years and a desktop computer over 4 years.  Only the work related portion can be claimed.

Uniforms – The purchase and laundry of uniforms that are required to be worn at work. 

Self-Education – Any courses or study directly relating to your current job. 

Phone and Internet – Work-related calls, texts and internet costs that were required to be made from your personal phone or device. 

Other expenses – Travel for work purposes, IT journals or books and working from home.

You can’t claim equipment that is used for personal reasons or clothing that is not part of a uniform with a logo.

Our biggest goal at Gotax online is to try to make everything as simple and easy as possible, you will find examples of the things you may be able to claim at the work-related expenses page on your E-Tax return.
