You may only claim these expenses if they are necessary for work. If they are used for personal and work related purposes, you may claim the portion that is related to work.
The simple BAS form in Airtax allows you to add individual expenses and attribute a business use percentage to each. We then calculate the GST claimable for you based on these numbers.
