I undertook business travel from Brisbane to Sydney for workshops, meetings and a conference. Initially I was travelling twice. In week 1 for 4 nights for meetings and workshops and then in the following week travelling again for 2 nights for a conference. I elected that rather than fly back between business commitments, I would stay on for the 4 days in between and undertake personal travel for those 4 nights at my own expense with my family flying down and joining me, again at my expense. As a consequence, because my flight down and my flight back are more than 5 days apart (flights were paid for by my employer) they are suggesting I need to complete a travel diary as if it was a single period of business travel. I am concerned about potential implications if this is assessed as one period of travel and FBT is levied then that will have implications to my personal income tax assessment. Is this risk real?
