Work-related travel, self-education, home office costs, and professional memberships may be deductible if you are eligible. Keep clear records and receipts.
2) Contribute to superannuation
Eligible concessional super contributions can reduce your taxable income while helping retirement savings. Check your annual contribution caps before acting.
3) Use salary packaging where available
Depending on your employer and industry, salary packaging can improve after-tax outcomes for approved expense categories.

If your income changes significantly, adjusting withholding can help avoid surprises at tax time.
