Hi, I am currently working as a Hospital Medical Officer and planning to do Australian Medical Council ( AMC ) clinical exam this year which is needed to obtain my general registration. Is the total exam fee of AUD4300 tax claimable?
My other question is is there any maximum limit upto which we can claim tax return for our Medical Scrubs?
TIA
Hi @wiferg,
I'm not familar with the AMC clinical exam, but it sounds like it might fall under work-related self-education expenses. Whether or not you can claim the exam fee depends on how much the exam relates to you earning income. You can check out the eligibility criteria on our website. If you meet the criteria then yes!
When it comes to scrubs, there's no real limit but you must provide evidence (receipts/ invoices/ etc) for your purchases and laundry over $300 and $150 respectively. We've got info on claiming deductions for buying, repairing and laundering occupation-specific clothing like your scrubs on our website.
