Hi all,
so, my previous employer had me on the road a lot, and as such spent a lot of time away from home.
Now my employer would give me a per diem when away from home of average around 30 bucks a day (to help cover meals), looking at the ato website they give tables for reasonable expenses when working away from home for meals and incidentals, which is quite a lot more than what I received from my employer.
i know this is something I should talk to my accountant on, however it's worth a shot, I'm sure someone's familiar with this stuff.
My employer gave me about a fifth of what the ato says is reasonable, can I claim the difference without receipts?
Thanks guys and gals
