Claim your AUSactive membership renewal this financial year
It’s that time of year when tax-time savings are everywhere – but did you know you can also claim your AUSactive membership renewal in this year’s tax return?
People working in the exercise and active health industry may be eligible to claim a wide range of work-related expenses, from AUSactive membership fees to essential professional tools and continued education.
AUSactive CEO Barrie Elvish said now is the perfect time to remind members about the tax-time benefits of renewing their membership before the end of financial year.
“With cost-of-living pressures continuing, it’s more important than ever to take advantage of all eligible deductions and ensure you’re making the most of tax-time opportunities,” Mr Elvish said.
“Your AUSactive membership is a key professional expense that may be tax-deductible – including your renewal fees. It’s worth checking what else you can claim to support your career in the fitness and active health industry.”
