Anything you paid for that helped you earn your income. You're a painter, so did you have to buy anything for your job?

Uniforms? Washing your uniforms (even if you do it at home)?

If you spent it to earn, it's a deduction. Put very simply.

A couple of tools, a lot of k's on my car, about 7000. I've kept all the receipts from the fuel plus dates and k's of the trips i made, is that enough?

Umm, yeah new shoes and pants etc, have all the receipts for them as well.

But there’s electronics that I have bought, a camera, which is used only for work. GPS for getting to sites ;) lol

But what else can I claim? I heard you can claim up to $300 on curtain things without receipts, this correct?

i like tax time :) = mod time :D

i think your camera and gps will already exceed the 300 so it wont matter.

clothes and shoes are not tax deductible unless they are job SPECIFIC, so normal shirts and **** are not deductible, unless they have logos etc.

i always deduct % off my calls txt etc, throw in some km's from car, i keep all receipts so if ATO want to check i'l throw them the whole lot and say here sort through this mess and organise it alphabetical for me:)

Get money back.... I end up having to pay the tax office. I see that I can make interest off that money first in my bank account. It's not going to make interest if the tax office has it.
