Taxation Determination TD 93/114 is ammended as follows:
- Paragraph 4
- Omit Example 2 ; substitute:
-
'Example 2
A police academy PT instructor regularly attends a commercially operated gymnasium to ensure he is in peak condition to perform his duties. The officer claims gym fees, the cost of special protective aerobic shoes and the cost of a track suit. As the officer's ordinary duties require regular strenuous physical activity, a deduction would be available for gym fees and the cost of the special protective aerobic shoes. A deduction is not allowable for the cost of the track suit because it is conventional clothing and the expense is private in nature.'
Commissioner of Taxation
5 June 1996
