Thanks Catherine,
Yep - that is definitely clear. I guess my question was more about the mechanics. Do I create two separate line items in the Depreciation and Capital Allowances Tool? If so, how do I allocate the "personal" component. For example, say the total expense is $10,000 (unrealistically large but makes the maths easier). So, that would be $5000 totally attributable to work, $3000 totally attributable to self education, and $2000 attributable to personal. Do I put in one line item of $5000 for work and one line item of $3000 for self education, set each with their claimable proportion to 100% becuase I have already taken out the personal component; and not enter the personal component at all. Alternatively, do I split the personal component between each of the two line items (say $1000 in each), which would result in an 83% claimable proportion for work [5000/(5000+1000)] and a 67% claimable proportion for study [2000/(2000+1000)].
Again, this would be totally easy if in the Depreciation and Capital Allowances Tool was able to split a single asset three ways (work, study, personal), but this is not allowed so I am trying to work out how to enter this properly.
Really hoping I am making sense!
Many thanks, Chris.
