💻 Working From Home This Tax Time? You Could Be Missing Out on Valuable Tax Deductions!

If you worked from home during the 2025–26 financial year—whether it was one day a week or full-time—you may be able to claim a tax deduction for some of your home office expenses.

The ATO provides two methods to calculate your claim:

🏠 Fixed Rate Method – A simple option that covers many common working-from-home expenses.

📊 Actual Cost Method – Allows you to claim the actual expenses you've incurred, provided you have detailed records.

The best method depends on:
✔️ How many hours you worked from home.
✔️ The expenses you incurred.
✔️ The records you've kept throughout the year.

📌 Remember: Not every expense is claimable, and the ATO requires you to keep appropriate records to support your claim.

Choosing the right method could make a significant difference to your tax refund.

Need help working out which method is best for you?

🏡 Rental Property Tax Tips for 2026: What Every Landlord Needs to Know

Owning an investment property can be a great way to build long-term wealth—but when it comes to tax, getting it right is more important than ever.

The ATO is increasing its focus on rental property claims for the 2025–26 financial year, and with a significant new tax ruling now in effect, landlords should ensure their tax return is accurate and well-supported.

Here are a few key reminders for this tax season:

✅ Keep records of all rental income and expenses.
✅ Understand the difference between repairs, maintenance, and capital improvements.
✅ Claim only expenses that relate to the period your property was genuinely available for rent.
✅ Keep invoices, receipts, loan statements, and depreciation schedules.
✅ Seek professional advice before lodging your tax return to avoid costly mistakes.

A little preparation now can help maximise your legitimate deductions while keeping you compliant with the ATO.

⚡ Electric Vehicle (EV) Tax Deductions – What Can You Claim? 🚗🔋

Electric vehicles are now common enough on Australian roads that most EV owners are asking the same question at tax time: what am I actually allowed to claim? The good news is the ATO treats an EV or plug-in hybrid exactly like a petrol car for work-related expense purposes — the same two claim methods apply. The only real difference is how you account for “fuel”, since your fuel is electricity.

Here's a rundown of what you can claim on your 2025–26 return, what you can't, and the records you'll need.

💰 Top 10 Tax Deductions Australians Miss Every Year! 💰

Don't leave money on the table this tax season!

Every year, thousands of Australians miss out on valuable tax deductions—not because they've done anything wrong, but simply because they don't know what they're entitled to claim.

Every person's circumstances are different, and claiming incorrectly can trigger unwanted attention from the ATO. The best way to maximise your refund while staying compliant is to have your return prepared by a registered tax agent.

At North Coast Accounting, we'll ensure you claim every deduction you're legally entitled to—so you don't pay more tax than you need to.

Federal Budget 2026-27 Overview
--------------------------------------

The Australian Federal Budget for 2026–2027 proposes far-reaching changes to the Australian tax system that will have significant impacts on a range of taxpayers. Whilst a number of the measures were widely telegraphed, the implementation likely increases the Australian tax burden on most investments, whilst also adding significant layers of increased complexity, and leaving key details unresolved.
