Neglected Tax Deduction #2


Okay, so most of us know what we can claim on our tax returns (or at least what we usually claim) but there are still a lot of deductions that go neglected by people year after year. Continuing a series on Neglected Tax Deductions, today I mention another oft-forgotten area.

Do you work outdoors?

If the nature of your work causes you to work all or part of the day in the sun, you can claim a tax deduction for your sun protection expenses.

Sun protection includes sunhats, sunglasses and sunscreen lotion.

This ruling is most likely to apply to buiders, labourers, tradespeople, plant operators and others in the building or construction industry.
