Trips while working and between workplaces
You can claim a tax deduction for the cost of transport on trips to:
- perform your work duties – for example, if you travel from your regular place of work to meet with a client
- attend work-related conferences or meetings away from your regular place of work
- deliver items or collect supplies
- go between 2 or more separate places of employment, such as if you have more than one job (but not if one of the places is your home)
- go from your
- regular place of work to an alternative place of work that isn’t a regular place of work (for example, a client’s premises) while still on duty, and back to your regular place of work or directly home
- home to an alternative place of work that isn’t a regular place of work to perform your duties, and then to your regular place of work or directly home (this doesn’t apply if the alternative place of work has become a regular workplace).
Not sure what you can claim? we have plenty of help on the website to help, however, don’t forget to check the ATO.gov.au for things youre not sure of.
Trips between home and work

These trips put you in a position to start work and earn income but are not part of performing your work duties. The cost of these trips is a private expense.
This is the case even if you:
- live a long way from your regular place of work
- work outside normal business hours – for example, shift work or overtime
- do minor work-related tasks on the way to work or the way home – for example, picking up the mail
- go between your home and regular place of work more than once a day
- are on call – for example, you are on standby duty and your employer contacts you at home to come into work
- have no public transport near where you work
- do some work at home
- work from your home running your own business and travel directly to a place of work where you work for somebody else.
You can’t claim trips between your home and place of work, except in limited circumstances (search the ATO website for Travel between home and work and between workplaces)
