can i claim car rego on tax

Ah, the age-old dream of recouping every cent spent on your beloved car. Unfortunately, in Australia, you generally cannot claim car registration (rego) fees as a tax deduction if the vehicle is for personal use. However, if you're using the car for business purposes, you might be able to claim a portion of the rego cost proportional to your business use.

In other words, keep a meticulous logbook or records to justify the claim; otherwise, the taxman will have your head. For precise details, poke around the Australian Taxation Office guidelines or chat with a tax pro who knows the ins and outs better than most.
