Graduate IQ-2. What work related expenses are deductible for your client and how to manage them on the tax return.

Work related deductions can be a tricky area mostly because clients have very high expectations of what they can claim! We work through the general concepts of deductibility, then work through D1 to D5 of individual tax return, looking at what can be claimed and why (or why not). Plus, we look at the management of working from home expenses.

This module is available as part of the Accounting Graduate IQ Program.
