This means you can’t just copy and paste your deductions from last year 🙅
You may however be able to claim similar expenses as deductions in your new tax return.
To claim a deduction for a work-related expense, there are 3 golden rules:
1. you must have spent the money yourself, and weren’t reimbursed
2. the expense must directly relate to earning your income
3. you must have a record (usually a receipt) to prove it.
👉 If your expense was for both work and private purposes, you can only claim a deduction for the work-related portion.
