These applications, such as us, do not need to be able to make trades on your behalf, we only require this “read only” access to get your income data for tax return purpose.

In the context of Australian tax returns, there are two types of work-related expenses: business-related expenses and PAYG (Pay As You Go) work-related expenses. Here’s an overview of the differences between them:
Business-Related Expenses (ABN): These expenses are incurred by individuals who operate their own business or work as independent contractors. In this section, you can claim deductions for expenses directly related to your business activities, such as office rent, equipment costs, advertising expenses, professional fees, and other costs directly incurred in running your business.
PAYG Work-Related Expenses: These expenses are incurred by individuals who are employees and receive a salary or wages subject to the PAYG withholding system. PAYG work-related expenses are typically associated with the performance of your job and are directly related to earning your income. For examples, expenses for uniforms, training courses, and work-related travel.
It’s important to note that there are specific criteria and substantiation requirements for claiming both types of work-related expenses. Generally, you can only claim deductions for expenses that are directly related to your work and are not reimbursed by your employer.
Under Australian Tax Law, deductions totaling more than $300 must be substantiated with proof such as a receipt or other relevant document. If you cannot provide such evidence, we regret that we will be unable to process your deduction.

The ABN is used as a universal identifier for businesses and is required for various purposes, including:

Once an ABN is issued, it does not expire and can be used for the life of the business or entity, provided that the information held by the ABR is kept up-to-date.
