Hi Everyone - Its nearly tax time and are you wondering whether you can claim the cost of your wig at end of year tax?

According to the ATO:

Please check with your Tax Advisor but you should be able to add the cost of your wig to your medical claims under the Taxation Ruling TR93/34

Below are some sections quoted from the ATO website relating to the Income Tax: Medical Expense Rebate (Taxation Ruling TR93/34).

Section 159P allows a rebate for net medical expenses exceeding $1,000. Net medical expenses includes: payments for a 'medical or surgical appliance' prescribed by a legally qualified medical practitioner.

A 'medical or surgical appliance' for the purposes of paragraph (f) of the definition of 'medical expenses' in subsection 159P (4) is an instrument, apparatus or device which is:

a) Manufactured as; or

b) Distributed as; or

c) Generally recognised to be an aid to the function or capacity of a person with a disability or illness.

Examples of a 'medical or surgical appliance' include:

(m) Medical or surgical wigs for use by a person which is necessitated by loss of hair through sickness or disease (other than naturally occurring baldness) or the effects of the treatment of sickness or disease
