Question

TonyATO · Accepted Answer

You can claim accommodation expenses if all of the following apply: You: - declare any travel allowance you receive as income on your tax return - are required as part of performing your work duties to travel away from home - are only working away from home for relatively short periods of time (you aren't living away from home) - did not incur the expenses because of a choice you made to maintain your residence in a different location to your place of employment - have a permanent home at a location away from the work location that you are travelling to - pay for the accommodation yourself and aren't reimbursed for the costs you incur. You can find more information under: Accommodation allowances and expenses when travelling away from home for work Regards, Tony
