Example: Providing information to prove your claim
We reduced Dean’s deductions claim during an audit, because there wasn’t enough evidence to confirm the purchases he made were for his work.
A few weeks later, Dean found the missing receipts and logbooks to support his claim, and decided to lodge an objection.
In his objection, he explained in writing that the assessment was incorrect because it didn’t take account of relevant deductible purchases, and specified the extra deductions he was entitled to. He also provided us with the missing receipts and logbooks. After receiving all the documents, including all of his identifying details, we updated our decision to allow Dean to claim his deductions.
