Self employed cameraman and black tie suit hire for film awards event

Self employed cameraman and black tie suit hire for film awards event - this suit was hired solely for the purposes of meeting the dresscode to attend this event. Is this tax deductible?

Hi,

No. You cannot claim for everyday clothing, even if you wear it for work. This suit would be considered every day clothing, as you can use it outside of work situations.  

Expenses if you're self-employed

Thank you.
