Money and tax side, done!

"Mum and Dad should really use Xpnsit too. I've got my tax and expense side sorted in one hit, it's a ripper." - G W Doncaster

The final year of TAFE and working full time leaves little room for other things but getting all your expenses back gives a fair bit of comfort while sorting out a lot of the paperwork. The log book and work diary is a big help too.

Studying and working a trade means many out of pocket expenses and making the most of these is easy with Xpnsit. He had no idea that the cost of running his car travelling between work, college and home were deductible!  

Whether you're just on your way like GW or in a groove like his parents, Xpnsit catches the large and small bits that add up to big dollars in tax back. Download the case study PDF

What might this include?

Being in the trade means lots of protective clothing and high wear. There's not a lot of dry cleaning but we've still got to cover cost of our work clothes plus the protective gear on top. Getting an allowance doesn’t stop you claiming the cost!

• The cost of the work clothes and the embroidery if the boss gets around to it
• Boot covers, hat and sunnies when you're on site.
• An allowance for washing all that at home.

He uses his car a lot, he's young after all. Its one thing to get to work but what about going between jobs and college? Using the built in log book and knowing a little bit about the vehicle, Xpnsit tracks and claims the lot.

• Running work errands in his car, even getting lunch for the boss, it all add's up.
• Km's travelled to and from college, a big capacity V8 means higher expense allowance too.
• Driving between work sites and with gear in the back.

Studying is a big part of his costs, fee's, text books and stationary is obvious but what about the other stuff his entitled too?

• Fee's, test books, stationary, calculator, printer ink cartridges  
• Internet costs for study and any specific software
• Cost of computer or printer repairs used for study
• Grabbing dinner on the way to or at college
• A portion of household overhead to provide the study space, by the hour.  

Some say that a man is judged by the size or number of his tools and he likes to have good gear. Some of it is his choice to use and others are just a part of what he needs.

• Magazines and journals to see what's happening in the trade
• The latest lithium-ion cordless
• Sun cream and skin moisturiser, who said it was only for women?
• Countless small tools, odd's and ends through out the year.
• The big secure tool chest to store it all in, depreciate that.
• Racks for the ute, in case you need to pick up timber, again.

And what about working late on a site and coming home?

• Its late, let's have dinner while we're here, claim it.
• Sometimes you're just too tired to drive back from that job, stay the night and claim the cost, even if you get an allowance.

You pay someone to lodge your tax and you do like to donate to a good cause when down at the club, Xpnsit helps you claim these back too.
