Q&A

Question: Can I claim tax for my corporate clothes?

Answer:

It is possible to claim tax deductions for the cost of buying and/or cleaning clothing that is occupation-specific, but you cannot claim clothes that you bought to wear for work that are not specific to your occupation. It can be difficult to determine whether or not your clothes are occupation-specific. We recommend that you check these expenses with your accountant.
