I went overseas for a paid job for 15 days, what expenses can I claim? Can I claim a certain amount for food everyday? Accommodation was provided.
Hi @Angela12345,
You can claim deductions for travel expenses if you travel and stay away from your home overnight in the course of performing your employment duties. You can claim the cost of your meals while you were away. Our page on overnight travel expenses has more information about what you can claim.
If you just chose to take the job overseas not actually travelling for work then nothing would be claimable.
