In addition to car expenses, employees may have other travel expenses. These may include tolls, public transport or food.
Travelling between home to work cannot be claimed, travel from your place of work to a customer’s office may be able to be claimed.
Whilst the cost of meals that would regularly be consumed whilst at work cannot be deducted, meals whilst travelling away overnight for work can be deducted.
These can include meals whilst interstate for work where the meal cost has not been rolled into your salary under an industrial award. Where you receive an allowance for travel these rules can get a bit tricky and you may like to seek further advice.
