I have a sole trader client who operates a courier service between towns and rarely stays overnight. I’m trying to determine whether meals purchased during his daily operations are deductible. Since his van effectively serves as his workplace and he cannot reasonably return home to prepare meals, I believe the expense is justifiable. However, I’m unsure if these meals would qualify as travel expenses or if there is specific guidance on this matter. I also recognise that FBT s32, which generally exempts light meals at a workplace, doesn’t apply here. Is there any official guidance or precedent that supports claiming these meal expenses as deductions?
