Im an engineer that is employed as a depot based employee for the state government. I travel regularly from home to site to perform my duties which is further away than the depot and as a result I get a cents per km allowance as the depot is my listed place of employment per the award I am under. This is then shown as income on my payment summary.
Am I also then eligible to claim deductions for the expenses incurred? I find it hard to believe that the state government would pay me for my travel because it isn’t where I’m employed to work from (I have my own desk at the depot and everything). But then it’s not claimable for tax purposes by the ato because of the use of the word “regular”.
