Products that you can claim on tax!

Here are some tips for products you can claim on tax. Always seek professional advise as every role can differ.

1. Your work uniform: Find out your employers dress code policy so you can confirm if you can claim on tax. Scrubs aren't every day wear so it's likely you'll be able to claim on them.
2. Footwear: Slip Resistant Nurse Shoes that you wear to protect yourself, in many instances can be claimed on tax. Once again, check your employers dress code and if it's not an every day item, you might be able to claim.
3. Registration fees and memberships that are specific for your work can be claimed.
