Can I claim tax deductions on travel expenses?
Hi there I don’t see why you can’t claim on travel you make to and from your second workplace. Had you been travelling from home to work and another work to home or any trip involving home in between there would be a potential issue. I think you may have been misinformed or misguided due to pre 2001 provisions. If what you’re saying is you travel directly from Work A to Work B and Work B to Work A, there should be no reason why you cannot deduct both trips. The new provision provides an individual taxpayer with a specific income tax deduction for transport expenses where the following general conditions are met: the individual incurs transport expenses in travelling directly between workplaces the purpose of the travel between workplaces is to earn assessable income at the second workplace at the time of the travel between workplaces the income earning activities at the first workplace had not permanently ceased, and the individual does not reside at either place. I’d highly recommend
