Funeral policies and back loans

Posted 7 August 2013

Hello Tim

I work on a commission basis as a hairstylist and I am currently paying various funeral policies. I also have a loan at the bank and a credit card. Am I allowed to claim for tax on those payments?

Unfortunately not, these are not work-related costs, but personal expenses.
