In a recent decision, a taxpayer’s claims for various work-related expenses were rejected by the AAT.<\/span><\/p>\n

The taxpayer was employed as a traffic controller in the 2020 income year.\u00a0 In his income tax return for that year he claimed $9,800 in work-related deductions, including for car expenses (using the cents per km method), travel expenses, clothing expenses and self-education expenses, as well as supplemental deductions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ATO disallowed all of the deductions, and the taxpayer then appealed to the AAT.<\/span><\/p>\n

The AAT agreed that all of the taxpayer’s claims for work-related expenses should be disallowed, largely because the taxpayer failed to substantiate these expenses, whether by way of receipts\/bank statements or any other form of evidence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, in relation to the claim for car expenses, the AAT noted that the taxpayer had been using company vehicles at least some of the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

The AAT also noted that there had generally been <\/span>“no attempt to apportion work use against private use. . . Even if I could satisfy myself of some apportionment, the amount would likely be so insignificant that it would not result in any real deduction in taxable income.”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
