I am required to travel every 8 weeks and away from home up to 3 nights each time. The allowance I am given is $160 per day which is supposed to cover food, accommodation and incidentals. I work for a small business who tax this allowance which means it does not cover my expenses (even if it wasn't taxed it wouldn't cover my expenses). What am I entitled to?
Hi @Alma69,
Once you've met the eligibility criteria you can claim the additional expenses that you pay for over the amount of the allowance as a deduction.
