I don't think you can claim as expense.`````

You can claim travel cost if you work in both Melbourne and Sydney/Canberra. Hence you are not qualified.
If you have your own company or umbrella company instead of PAYG, you can claim the travel cost through the company.

according to what you said, I can setup pty company, payment +GST goes into the company, then I can claim the travel cost between Mel and Syd, as well as the living cost in Syd(rental, food)? but some Accountant said I can not claim any of them because I am It contractor, that is PSI.

不能claim

这不是与你工作相关的支出，是domestic的，不能抵扣。

有的，但楼主情况公司不会给这笔补助

而且LAFHA现在不再是FBT EXEMPT，雇主要付很多FBT

看来现在就业和补偿情况越来越恶劣了，那么还是在墨尔本工作吧。即使syd工资高，也没有啥意思。
还有一个问题是关于 300块 work related item，譬如，买了一个电脑配件，（我是IT contractor）， 320块，我是否可以只报300 claim，一次性claim了，而不用分3年claim？（以后我也不打算claim余下的20块）

You can claim the $320  if you keep your receipts. Otherwise, you can claim $300 without receipts.

this 320 is only 1 item(I have many items), it is related to depreciation, can I write off this item as 300 this yr rather than split it for 3 installment, (107,107,106)?
