Generally speaking, no. Neither is your skincare. Or your hair products 🙅‍

Your personal appearance and grooming products are private expenses. This is even if your employer expects you to maintain a certain standard of grooming or appearance.

There are exceptions in very limited circumstances – for example, a performing artist requiring stage makeup 💃🧛

☀️ Some creams and cosmetics can function both as sun protection and as a cosmetic.

You can only claim a deduction for the cost of a product containing sun protection if your work requires you to perform your duties for prolonged periods outdoors. And remember – you can only claim for the work-related use of these products.

ATO warning: don’t rush in lodging returns – early returns are twice as likely to be incorrect

With the holiday season on the way, you may be planning to celebrate with your staff! 🥳🎉

Before you hire the restaurant or book an event, make sure you consider the fringe benefits tax (FBT) implications! 🤔

Your FBT obligations will depend on:
🎈 the amount you spend on each employee
🎈 when and where your celebration is held
🎈 who attends
🎈 the value and type of gifts you provide.
