Sales and marketing managers - claiming work-related expenses

Daily travel expenses you cannot claim

You cannot claim a deduction for the cost of normal trips between home and work, even if:

• you did minor tasks – for example, picking up the mail on the way to work or home
• you were on call
• there was no public transport near where you worked so you used a car
• you worked outside normal business hours – for example, overtime
• you used your own vehicle to travel from home to work to collect a work vehicle.
