See if you’re among the millions of Australians who’ll probably be better off hanging onto your work receipts for tax time next year.

How TF are most workers deducting over $2,000‽

Edit: my memory from last night when I read this was slightly off. FFS I wish articles wouldn't use "average" when they mean "mean" and when the difference between mean and median (which is also an average) is important. Especially with a construction like "the average Australian’s X", which strongly implies median.

Anyway, still most workers deduct over $1,300. How‽

WFH a lot, a few work purchases, maybe a conference.

You guys get conferences?

They're only tax deductible if you pay for them yourself
