Claim Your AUSactive Membership Renewal This Financial Year
Tax time is here, and there are many ways to save. However, did you know you may be able to claim your AUSactive membership renewal in your tax return?
People working in the exercise and active health industry may be eligible to claim a range of work-related expenses. These can include membership fees, professional tools and continuing education.
Maximise Your Tax-Time Benefits
AUSactive CEO Barrie Elvish said now is the ideal time to review your eligible deductions.
“With cost-of-living pressures continuing, it is important to take advantage of all available tax deductions,” Mr Elvish said.
“Your AUSactive membership may be tax-deductible, including renewal fees. Therefore, it is worth reviewing what you can claim to support your career.”
Check ATO Guidelines
