  Don't forget road/bridge/tunnel tolls - these are also 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?
