Tax deductions that are available without receipts

Fixed Rate for Home Office Expenses

The Australian Tax Office (ATO) allows you to claim a flat rate per business hour to cover the costs of working from home. For the 2022-23 tax year, the rate increased from 52 cents to 67 cents per business hour. This revised fixed rate covers energy costs, phone and internet expenses, and computer consumables and stationery. For example, if you worked from home for 200 hours in the tax year, you could claim $134 (200 hours x $0.67) for these expenses.

Car Expenses

If you use your car for work purposes, you can claim car expenses using the cents per kilometre method. The ATO allows you to claim a maximum of 5,000 business kilometres per car per year at a rate of 72 cents per kilometre for the 2022-23 income year. For example, if you travelled 3,000 kilometres for work purposes in a year, you could claim $2,160 (3,000 km x $0.72) as a deduction.

Laundry Expenses

If you have a work uniform that is distinctive (has your employer’s logo) or protective in nature, you can claim laundry expenses at a rate of 50 cents per load if it’s only work-related clothing, or $1 per load if it contains other laundry items.

Remember that while these deductions do not require receipts, it’s still important to keep accurate records such as diaries or logbooks to substantiate your claims.
