The ATO says it is reviewing these occupations this year for any perceived irregularities that may trigger an audit or review of their tax return.

The ATO review may include targeting taxpayers whose claims have increased significantly in the past few years and requiring taxpayers to complete work-related expense information sheets when lodging their tax return.

Every year, the tax office selects some occupations it plans to target in relation to work related expenses claims.
