Are there any tax deductions specific to working as a speech pathologist?

[markandrewneves]

• I work as a speech pathologist
• I can't seem to find specific deductions related to my profession similar to other education/medical professionals
• I was hoping to deduct expenses related to materials/programs/etc. that I use for my job

If you are working as self employed speech pathologist, then do your tax return as professional.  This will give you the chance to deduct some specific office expenses such as equipment you buy for business. If it is an asset that helps you run the business, then you claim the capital cost allowance. You may claim any mandatory membership that you need to have, such as a licence.
