A list of things that need to be kept for claiming deductions each year:

(1)    All Meal Receipts – if you take precooked food, please keep the shopping dockets. (Even better is to separate the shopping and pay separately.)

(2)    Keep an exercise book for meals / snacks that are under $10 as well as each time you pay for washing / drying of clothes at Truck Stops.

(3)    All receipts in relation to work clothes / safety gear / sunglasses / sunscreen and wide brim hats.

(4)    All receipts in relation to loose tools / repairs and maintenance on the truck including Truck Wash ( that has NOT been reimbursed by the employer)

(5)    Bedding – Travel bags / sheets / donnas / pillows / towels etc. – 1 set per year.

(6)    Fridges / stoves / microwaves / containers for food etc.

(7)    GPS’s / Bluetooth equipment / mobile phone bills / internet bills / laptops / tablets and accessories (all items over $300 must be depreciated therefore will require full amounts and date purchased).

(8)    Must keep ALL Log Books.

(9)    Travel book for kilometers – for motor vehicle – carrying tools /
bedding / food etc. to and from the Truck each week.

(10)    Any other receipts that you are not sure on, we can check them at the end of the financial year.
