Field help: Did you have any travel expenses or additional meal expenses?

Select "yes" if you incurred costs due to off-site work or business trips.

Off-site work occurs when you are temporarily working away from your primary workplace. This includes:

  • Business trips,
  • Job rotation, or
  • Driving work.

You can claim the following expenses in particular:

  • Travel costs,
  • Additional meal expenses,
  • Overnight accommodation costs, and
  • Incidental travel expenses, such as parking, tolls, or luggage costs.

Example: You travel to another city for a client meeting, stay overnight, and return the next day. You can claim travel costs, accommodation costs, parking fees, and any applicable meal allowances as off-site work expenses.

Note: This option cannot be deselected if your income tax statement shows tax-free employer reimbursements for additional meal expenses. In this case, please also provide the relevant off-site work details. This is the only way to check whether the tax-free reimbursements exceed the permissible meal allowances.
