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.
