His total running costs for the year were $13,050 (including decline in value) and he has maintained a log book which shows 20% work-related use. • He has receipts totalling $280 for work clothes and shoes. • He also has receipts for the purchase of knives and other chef utensils which add up to a total of $650. • As he is a responsible parent, he has Income protection insurance and paid a premium of $320 during the year. • He has recently purchased a home to hoe in and includes his loan statements showing interest paid for the year of $7,400. • He paid tax agent fees of $180 for the preparation of his 2016 income tax return. • He also made a superannuation contribution 01 01,500 to his own superannuation fund. • Stefan does not have any private health insurance as he and his son are very healthy.
