Just to reinforce the obvious, private and domestic travel expenses, including the costs of your ordinary home-to-work travel, aren’t claimable.

 

Important issues are:-

 

    - Is the travel a necessary part of performing your work (you can’t pretend your family holiday’s a work trip)?

 

    - Does your employer pay you to undertake the travel?

 

    - Do you have to follow your employer’s instructions during the travel period?

 

Accommodation, meal and other incidental expenses are deductible as work-related only if your work has “special demands” or “co-existing work locations” that mean you have to sleep away from home.
