Kristie | Can you claim your wedding expenses as a tax deduction? |
|

Expenses are are only allowable as deductions from your assessable income to the extent that they relate to gaining or producing your income or carrying on a business for the purpose of doing so.
Specifically outgoings of a private or domestic nature are not deductible.
If an expense is partially connected with the derivation of income and partially 'private/domestic' in nature, the deduction is apportioned.
In practice, assuming you are an ordinary private individual wage earner, it would be very difficult to (reasonably) argue that wedding expensese are tax deductible.
To drive a final nail into the coffin of that idea, there is a whole Division in the tax legislation that makes expenses incurred in providing entertainment specifically non-deductible.
Sorry. |

He he he he.... You are such a comedian !!!!!
Private expenses as a deduction??-.... Gee I could get away with claiming that last holiday, and my groceries, and utilities, and trips to the theatre and even the rock concert! Perhaps I should go out and buy some nice jewelllery and claim that too!
[Yeah- dont I wish!!]
There is no other way to say it than PRIVATE EXPENSES are NOT DEDUCTIBLE.
Its up to you how you spend the money that you earn, but you cannot expect taxpayers to foot the bill for your personal expenses.
Deductions are a give and take mechanism whereby people who incur costs (such as materials, legal fees, home office etc) in producing their income dont get taxed on those out of pocket expenses, so that in the end they only get taxed on their actual profit.
I suspect that it would very difficult for you to prove the nexus between your wedding and associated costs with your income. And even if you were a wedding planner and bore the costs through your business- like all other businesses you would have to apportion costs to private and business usage and your personal wedding would definitely be of a PRIVATE nature and therfore not a valid deduction. |

I don't see why you would be able to claim it, as it is not a work-related expense or any of the other categories |

Only if you are a wedding planner and you shoulder the expenses as per the service contract. |
