Work-related Expenses Standard Deduction Dropped
The Government announced that it will not proceed with the 2010–2011 Budget announcement to allow a standard tax deduction for work-related expenses and the cost of managing tax affairs which was due to commence on 1 July 2013. The Government is pursuing other simplification measures such as tripling the tax-free threshold to $18,200 from 1 July 2012.
