If you receive vouchers to pay for parking and meals when participating in a clinical trial, is this subject to tax?

Hi @LeoLai


Reimbursements: If the payments (or vouchers) are purely reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses like travel, parking, and meals, then they are generally not considered assessable income (i.e. not subject to tax).


Payments for Services: If the payments are for your time and participation, rather than just covering expenses, they are generally considered assessable income.


For a list of what is not considered to be income please check here.
