TAX Return - Where are you In Off The Red?

[Dan Maynard]

Subsistence is an interesting one for me so I looked into it a bit and I reckon may be missing out a bit myself.

The way I read it if you buy the food on the way to the yard that's not deductible because your business travel hasn't started yet. Once you have begun your business travel then costs of travel and subsistence are all claimable.

There's some other stuff about salesmen covering areas but I would reckon once you have a truck and chipper it's business travel.
