Gogibraltar Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Good afternoon. I am a UK trained engineer currently living in WA. I am a member of a UK professional institution and was wondering if the feed were tax deductible on the Australian tax return. I know that the Oz equivalent, Engineers Australia is deductible but am unsure about foreign memberships. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abz123 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 I have claimed my UK accountancy body fees every year. ATO require that you can provide evidence of deductions if required but has never been questioned so far. Other option may be to ask your employer to pay your subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogibraltar Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks! My employer pays my Australian professional membership fees (so cant claim those) but not the UK ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
