Can the cost of travel to and from work be claimed as a tax deduction?
Home to work and return travel is generally not claimable as a tax deduction except in certain limited circumstances. Travel between jobs on the same day and travel for work (i.e. visiting clients, doing pick-ups or deliveries) may be claimable. If you use public transport then keep all receipts and/or diary records. If a personal car is used for work purposes then a log book must be maintained of all business mileage travelled and all expenses of the car including petrol, repairs, registration, insurance and interest on a car loan.
