I work for a local government council and pay for a vehicle lease of $197 a fortnight. This pays for my travel outside of work and travelling around work sites. Can I claim back on any of this? The vehicle is owned by council, I just have a temporary lease agreement for my role.

That payment is designed to cancel out the employer's FBT liability,

so no deduction - ITAA 1939 sec 51AF.
