I don't have any work travel: what do I do on that step?

What to do on the Travel and Mileage step if your only journey is your normal commute.

Written by Megan

Not everyone has work travel to claim, and that is completely fine.

If your only travel is your normal commute

Travel from your home to your usual workplace is your daily commute, and it cannot be claimed. If that is your only travel, you do not need to add any journeys on this step. Please do not enter a journey that did not happen or a made-up amount to get past the screen, that would put incorrect information on your claim.

If the step will not let you continue

On the Travel and mileage task, answer No to "Did you travel for work to places other than your permanent workplace?". Travel then comes off your list. You can also tap tell us you have no travel to claim on your Home screen. You can change this from the task until you submit. If you are still stuck, message us here. Your rebate does not depend on having work travel; there are several other expenses you may be able to claim.

What does count as work travel

Journeys made as part of your job, rather than your normal commute, may be claimable, for example travelling to a temporary site, a client visit, or training away from your usual workplace. If you have any of these, add them on this step.
