Ever wondered if you can claim your dog as a security guard? What about your Netflix subscription as "research"? Or your surfboard because you "work near the beach"?
Believe it or not, you're not alone.
At GoTax, we love a good laugh at tax time — but we also know the rules inside out. Some crazy claims are legit. Some… not so much. Our mission? Maximise your refund (without ending up on the ATO's naughty list).
And the best part? You can do it all online, guided by our chatbot Derek and backed by qualified tax accountants — all for just $65 flat fee.
Maybe! If your pup genuinely guards your business premises — and you've got proof — you might just be able to.
Sometimes! If physical fitness is critical to your job (think Elite Special Forces), some expenses can be claimed.
Unlikely — unless you’re a professional movie critic or actor doing "research".
Sorry, dude — unless your boss is paying you to ride waves, no go.
