At Republic of Florence, we appreciate that our leather work bags are often purchased by professionals who use them to carry work-related items. While some customers may be eligible to claim their purchase as a tax deduction, it's important to understand the relevant requirements and limitations.
Potentially Tax-Deductible if:
- The bag is primarily used for work purposes
- It carries items essential to your job (e.g., laptops, tablets, documents, tools, or instruments)
- You have evidence of purchase (receipt)
- You keep records showing work-related usage
Claiming thresholds (per ATO guidelines):
- $300 or less: full deduction may be claimed immediately
- Over $300: must be depreciated over time
Not Deductible if:
- The bag is used mainly for personal purposes, such as fashion or the gym
- There is no direct link between the bag and your work duties
Your employer has already reimbursed you for the purchase
