The following occupation specific guide was released by the Australian Tax Office on 6th July 2011.  It provides some useful information for flight attendants when claiming work related expenses.   If you are not sure of your situation you should speak with a qualified chartered accountant.  If you require assistance please contact us.

When you can make a claim

In most situations you can claim tax deductions for work-related expenses as long as your claim meets the following conditions:

• you incurred the expense in doing your job
• the expense is not private (personal)
• you can show you incurred the expense by producing receipts or other written evidence.

The Australian Tax Office publish detailed guides that are industry specific to help individuals determine what type of tax deductions the may be entitled to.  The guides not only cover occupations but also include common deductions in the industry you are likely to be able to claim.  Generally the guides are released each year.
