Are you a busy medical professional?

Are you claiming everything in your tax return you’re entitled to? Our experience tells us there is often confusion about what is tax deductible for people working in the health and medical industry. If you work as a nurse or other health professional, in a hospital, agency or private practice, here is a sample of the tax deductions you might be able to claim:

• Union fees, professional membership and agency fees
• The cost of meals when you work overtime, provided you receive an allowance from your employer
• The cost of using your car to travel to training courses and meetings or between two places of employment
• Work-related training courses that relate to your current occupation
• Laundry of uniform
• Non-slip shoes
• Home office expenses such as electricity and depreciation of equipment, if you have to perform some of your duties at home (i.e., on-line education, research)
• The cost of any supplies you buy for use at work, such as briefcase, stationery, and medical equipment
• A portion of your mobile phone if you use it to make calls for work purposes
• and more!
