Under the TRAIN Law, Philippine employees cannot deduct work expenses at all. Neither can self-employed people who elect the 8% flat rate (charged on gross receipts) or the 40% Optional Standard Deduction (a fixed percentage regardless of what you actually spend). Only self-employed individuals and professionals on graduated rates with itemised deductions can claim, and every peso needs an official receipt.
You can only claim the work-related portion, you must have spent the money yourself without reimbursement, and you need a record to prove it.
