Q: Amanda's son just purchased a laptop, and the invoice was issued under her son’s name. Can Amanda claim lifestyle relief with this invoice?

A: It depends on whether Amanda’s son is a dependant of Amanda. If the son is still a dependant, then Amanda can use this invoice to claim the lifestyle relief because it is implied that the laptop is purchased by Amanda. If the son is no longer a dependant of Amanda, then Amanda cannot claim the lifestyle relief using the invoice. The son is eligible to claim the lifestyle relief instead. 

Wishing you plentiful tax savings!
