Australia has the same system. They'll give you $1000 without proof. I worked out that it's utterly pointless hoarding receipts and doing all the paperwork, because the difference between what I could claim with paperwork and without paperwork is maybe a couple hundred bucks. Not worth the effort.
- dannyw 7y agoI'm an Australian, how can I claim this $1k deduction?
- marcus_holmes 7y agoPut a tax return in. Don't claim any deductions. They give you $1K back. Happened to me three years in a row.
- girvo 7y agoAnd yet my partner got $7k back this financial year. It’s certainly not as simple as all that. I’ll be getting a decently large sum, though that’s because of a mistake I made!
- marcus_holmes 7y agonice :) I'm not saying it's not possible, and sometimes beneficial. But for me, it wasn't worth it.
