From www.accountantsdaily.com.au: The Administrative Review Tribunal of Australia overturned a decision regarding a truck driver’s meal expense deductions, allowing him to claim a total of $32,782.50.

The tribunal criticised the Australian Taxation Office’s set allowance of $19 per day for meals as inadequate.

It recognised the driver’s evidence while warning tax agents to avoid unsupported claims, noting this case reflects ongoing issues for truck drivers claiming work-related expenses.
