I worked the whole year as a labour hire employee meaning my actual place of employment changed frequently. Am i able to claim the following: travel and maintenance costs due to various locations i can be sent and the necessity of my vehicles roadworthiness to be considered for placement
Phone expenses because of the requirements to be contactable at all times by the labour hire company? Also are the other deductions i have not considered?
Hiya @Djesta,
There is some information on our website which talks about itinerant work. It explains that if you travel to multiple locations in one days work, you may be able to claim travel deductions for travel. If you typically go to one site, and stay there for the day, it is considered to be your regular place of work for that day.
You can claim the portion of your phone expenses you use for work purposes. That is, the amount of calls or texts you make for work.

StephATO i would have thought it would have been a deduction because im employed at one site ( the labour hire office) and my actual site address can change from day to day depending on what the client requires at that time.
Hiya @Djesta,
The office wouldn't be considered your normal place of employment, because you don't actually go there for work.
