atw: Contracting and tax deductions

Hi all,

Here is a question for you contractors who work interstate. Let's say I live
in Sydney but work as a contractor in Canberra, for example, and commute
there each week. What types of expenses can I claim for tax purposes?

Being new to contracting, I've been having a vigorous discussion with my tax
agent and he has said keep receipts for everything - like travel (airfares,
car stuff like petrol, services and NRMA membership), mobile and landline
phone calls, accommodation, meals, ISP costs, etc. All of these, he has
said, are claimable as deductions.

Is this right and would anyone like to add or subtract to this list?
