Working from home doesn’t automatically mean you can claim part of your rent. If your employer provides an office and you choose to work from home, rent may not be deductible for those work-from-home days. Tax eligibility depends on your specific circumstances, records and the rules that apply to your situation. Not sure where you stand? The team at Rapid Tax Refunds can help you understand what may be claimable.

Driving from home to your regular workplace is generally considered a private trip for tax purposes. However, bulky and essential work tools may be treated differently if you meet all relevant ATO requirements—such as needing to carry them for work and having limited secure storage at your workplace. Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances, so keep your records and get advice before claiming.

💻 Bought a laptop, tools or equipment for work this year? You might be able to claim it.
If you spent under $1,000 on work-related items — think laptops, power tools, or office equipment — you may not qualify for an instant write-off, but that doesn't mean the cost is lost. These items can be added to a low-value pool and depreciated over time, giving you a deduction across multiple years.
A few things worth knowing:
✅ Applies to work-related items costing under $1,000
✅ Pooled assets depreciate at set rates (18.75% in year one, 37.5% after)
✅ You can add multiple eligible items to the same pool
Don't miss out on deductions just because an item didn't qualify for an instant claim. Let Rapid Tax Refunds make sure your D6 pool is set up and claimed correctly.

📈 Got an investment loan? The interest you're paying could work in your favour.
If you borrowed money to buy shares, managed funds, or other income-producing investments, the interest on that loan may be tax deductible — even if the investment hasn't returned a profit yet.
A few things to keep in mind:
✅ The loan must be used to earn assessable income (like dividends or distributions)
✅ Keep records of your loan statements and interest charged
✅ Mixed-purpose loans (part personal, part investment) need to be apportioned correctly
Don't let eligible D7 interest deductions slip through the cracks. Let Rapid Tax Refunds make sure your investment loan is claimed accurately.

🎁 Did you donate this year? It might boost your refund.
Many Australians donate to charity throughout the year but forget to claim it back at tax time. If you gave $2 or more to a registered Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR), that donation may be tax deductible.
A couple of things to keep in mind:
✅ The charity must be a registered DGR
✅ You need a receipt (bank statements can work too)
✅ You must not have received anything in return — raffle tickets, dinner, or merchandise don't count as a pure gift
Don't leave your D9 claim on the table this tax season. Let Rapid Tax Refunds make sure every eligible donation is accounted for.

Many people are surprised to learn that not every outfit worn to work is tax deductible.
Generally, everyday clothing isn't claimable—even if your employer expects you to wear it. However, compulsory uniforms, protective clothing and occupation-specific clothing may qualify.
Rapid Tax Refunds can help you understand what's eligible.
