Tax deductions question
Tax time!
Has anyone had any luck making deductions against our taxes for things like transportation, laundry services, av medical, books/laptop/pc etc?
I did a search here but nothing came up.

I've claimed Av Med and Charities. Of course, they'll ask you for receipts (which I keep for that very reason).
Flew with a FO who claimed his all university courses which he studied outside of Hong Kong (aviation related) - said his taxes were reduced as well.

Reading the IRD notes, transportation from home to work is a no-no.
Professional education from approved institutions that are related to your job
Laptop - you would need to show that it is essential in the performance of your duties, ditto av medical
Clothes - replacement cost of 'special clothes' is allowed, doesn't say about laundry

HK IRD won’t allow claims for education courses, except from a fairly narrow, prescribed list - check their website.
That rules out claiming your ‘Master of Aviation’ type courses. I’ve tried.

KA negotiate a uniform laundry allowance with the IRD which goes on the form as they don't get paid a separate laundry allowance. This year it's $3150. I have also had success with claiming the fess for my university course as it's work related.
