INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 900.55 Exception for overseas travel allowance expenses

INCOME TAX ASSESSMENT ACT 1997 - SECT 900.55

  (1)   You can deduct a * travel allowance expense for travel outside Australia without getting written evidence under the same conditions as for domestic * travel allowances, except that you still have to get written evidence for losses or outgoings for accommodation.

  (2)   Consequently, in deciding whether the total of the losses or outgoings you claim is reasonable, the Commissioner must disregard losses or outgoings for accommodation.

  (3)   However, for overseas travel covered by a * travel allowance you must still keep travel records if the travel involves you being away from your ordinary residence for 6 or more nights in a row: Subdivision   900 - F tells you about travel records.
