$1,000 instant tax deduction for work-related expenses

Summary of proposal

The proposal would allow taxpayers to choose to claim a $1,000 instant tax deduction instead of claiming individual work-related expenses.

To be eligible for the instant tax deduction, taxpayers must earn labour income.

Taxpayers claiming more than $1,000 in work-related deductions will still be able to do so in the usual way. Charitable donations and other non-work-related deductions would continue to be claimed on top of the instant tax deduction.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2026.
