To claim a deduction for a work-related expense, there are three golden rules you need to meet:

  1. You must have spent the money yourself and weren't reimbursed.
  2. The expenses must directly relate to earning your income
  3. You must have a record to prove it (usually a receipt).

If the expense was for both work and private purposes, you only claim a deduction for the work-related part.
