Nurses are some of the hardest-working professionals — and many also spend hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars each year on work-related expenses that may be tax deductible.

At TaxSmart Cafe, we help healthcare professionals identify deductions they may be missing.

Common tax deductions for nurses can include:

✅ AHPRA registration fees
✅ Professional indemnity insurance
✅ ANMF/ANF union fees
✅ Scrubs, uniforms and protective clothing
✅ Nursing shoes and safety footwear
✅ Laundry costs for eligible work clothing
✅ Stethoscopes and medical equipment
✅ Medical reference books, journals, apps and subscriptions
✅ CPD courses and self-education related to your current nursing role

Whether you’re a registered nurse, enrolled nurse, midwife, or working in aged care, hospital, community, or private practice — understanding what you can claim can make a real difference at tax time.

At TaxSmart Cafe, we use ATO occupation guides as a framework to ensure your return is prepared accurately and you don’t miss eligible deductions.

📌 Healthcare workers: don’t leave your hard-earned deductions unclaimed.

We're halfway through July, and for most Australians, this is the window when things really start moving on the 2025–26 tax return. Employer income statements should be finalised, ATO pre-fill data should be loading, and the race to get refunds processed is on.

Here's your second-half-of-July checklist: Check myGov — are all your income statements marked 'Tax ready'? If yes, contact TaxSmart Cafe to book your return appointment. If no, contact your employer(s) to follow up. Gather your deduction records — employment expenses, vehicle logs, charitable donations, self-education costs, rental property records. Confirm your private health insurance information — insurers send annual statements that are needed for the Medicare Levy Surcharge and private health insurance offset calculations. Review any government payment summaries.

For investors: by mid-July, your bank interest statements, dividend statements, and managed fund distribution statements should either be available or on their way. These are needed before your return can be completed. Crypto investors: export your transaction history from all exchanges you used during the year.

For business owners: if you lodge BAS quarterly, your April–June BAS is due in late July or August. Get your BAS records ready now. TaxSmart Cafe can prepare and lodge your BAS concurrently with your income tax return.

Work-related travel is one of the most valuable — and most scrutinised — deduction categories in Australia. The ATO pays close attention to travel claims because they're frequently over-claimed. Understanding the rules before you claim is essential.

Deductible work-related travel includes: travel between two separate workplaces (e.g., visiting a client's office), travel from your regular workplace to a client site or supplier, travel to attend work-related conferences, training, or industry events, and travel for overnight stays required by your work. The key is that the travel must be for work purposes, not personal, and you must have incurred the cost yourself without reimbursement.

Commuting — travel between your home and regular workplace — is generally NOT deductible. There are limited exceptions: if you carry bulky equipment that can't be left at work, if your home is genuinely your base of operations, or if you travel from home to a non-regular work location.

For overnight work travel, you can claim accommodation costs, meals while away from home for work, and incidental expenses. Keep all receipts. If you use the cents-per-kilometre method for local travel, maintain a diary of trips including date, destination, and purpose.

TaxSmart Cafe helps clients in industries with significant travel — construction, consulting, healthcare, and education — to identify and correctly claim all eligible travel deductions.

If you own an investment property, the new financial year is the perfect time to review your rental arrangements, update your records system, and assess your tax strategy for 2026–27. Starting the year organised pays dividends — literally — at tax time.

Your July rental property checklist: Review your rental income against market rates — is your rent competitive? An underperforming property needs to be assessed for whether it's meeting your investment goals. Confirm your property is correctly classified as available for rent for the full year — periods when the property is vacant but listed count; periods of personal use do not. Review your loan structure — is the interest rate competitive? Is the loan still in the right name for optimal deductibility? A refinance could save thousands in interest and affect your deduction profile.

Also consider: if you don't have a depreciation schedule, now is the time to engage a quantity surveyor. A depreciation report can generate thousands of dollars in additional deductions — and the cost of the report is itself tax-deductible. Review your property management agreement — are the fees reasonable and are you getting value from the service?

For investors with multiple properties, TaxSmart Cafe creates a consolidated property tax plan at the start of each financial year. This ensures each property is optimised for deductions and your portfolio's overall tax position is managed strategically.

Attention nurses & healthcare workers.

Your tax return should reflect the real cost of doing your job.

AHPRA fees. Scrubs. Equipment. CPD. Union fees. Work travel.

If you paid for it and it’s work-related — it’s likely claimable.

At TaxSmart Café Casey, we make sure nothing gets missed. 💸

For small business owners, the first two weeks of a new financial year are critical. There are fresh obligations to meet, systems to update, and strategic decisions to make that will shape your entire year. Here's your prioritised checklist.

Payroll and super: if you haven't already updated your payroll software for Payday Super, do it today. All super must be paid with each payrun from July 1. Update employee tax declarations if any staff have changed their circumstances. Ensure STP (Single Touch Payroll) reporting is configured correctly for the new year.

GST and BAS: your first BAS of the new year covers the April–June 2026 quarter (if quarterly) and is due in late July or late August depending on your lodgement method. Set your BAS date in your accounting software and ensure your GST accounts are reconciled.

Accounting: archive your 2025–26 financial data and open a clean 2026–27 ledger. Reconcile your opening balances. Review your chart of accounts — are all the categories still appropriate? This is also a good time to upgrade your accounting software if you've been considering it.

Strategy: review your business structure — is it still the most tax-efficient option given your current and projected income? Meet with TaxSmart Cafe in July to review last year's results and plan the new year's strategy. The first month of the year is when smart business owners do their best thinking.

**Did you receive a government payment this financial year? 🤔**

Not all government payments are treated the same at tax time.

Some payments **must be declared as taxable income**, while others are **tax-free** but may still need to be included in your tax return. Declaring them correctly can affect your eligibility for tax offsets, government benefits, and concessions.

Examples of **taxable payments** include:
✔️ JobSeeker Payment
✔️ Age Pension
✔️ Youth Allowance
✔️ Austudy
✔️ Parenting Payment (Partnered)
✔️ Veteran Payment

Some payments, such as certain Disability Support Pensions and Carer Payments, may be **tax-free**, but you may still need to report them.

If you're lodging through myTax, many payments are pre-filled—but don't assume everything is there. Always review your information before submitting your return.

Not sure what applies to your situation?

📞 Let the team at **TaxSmart Cafe** help you lodge your tax return accurately and make sure you don't miss anything important.
