Can I claim a work bag on tax?

Yes, in Australia, you may be able to claim a work bag on tax, but only if it's used specifically for work purposes. According to the ATO (Australian Taxation Office), the bag must be used to carry items essential for your job, like a laptop, work documents, or tools. It must be fit for purpose, meaning a professional-style bag like a tote, backpack, or laptop bag, and not just a fashion accessory.

To claim it:

  • You need a receipt.
  • You must only claim the portion of use that relates to work (if it's also used personally).
  • It helps if the bag has compartments or features that clearly support work use.

Tip: Bags from Tottie, especially structured totes or padded laptop backpacks, are great for this purpose. Just remember to check with your accountant or the ATO’s latest guidelines to ensure your claim is valid.

What makes Tottie work bags different from regular handbags?

Tottie’s work bags are designed with functionality, organisation, and style in mind. Unlike regular handbags, they include laptop sleeves, multiple compartments, and insulated bottle holders, making them perfect for busy professionals and mums balancing work and life.

Can Tottie work bags fit a laptop?

Yes! Tottie office bags include a padded laptop sleeve that fits devices up to 15 inches, so you can safely carry your tech to the office, meetings, or while travelling.
