Claiming tax due to COVID-19 Home Working

What can you and what can’t you claim for in your tax return this financial year if you’ve been working from home?

Doing your tax return this financial year may well be a very different task if, like many of us, you’ve been working from home.  We talk to a tax accountant about all those extras you can claim for. 

Choosing an Australian-made product over an imported version should be our priority and recently the interest in such products has doubled which has proved a wonderful boost for Australian manufacturers. 

And finally, some financial companies and insurers have not been so transparent during these difficult times and the Australian Financial Complaints Authority have received over 3,000 complaints. If you believe you have grounds for a complaint, then listen in.

Guests: 

• Justin Untersteiner – Chief Operating Officer at Australian Financial Complaints Authority
• Paula Hart – Tax accountant and business advisor for Hart Partners
• Ben Lazzaro – Chief Executive of Australian Made Campaign Limited
