Kael, these links might be what you are meaning. http://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/content....ntent/31323.htm http://law.ato.gov.au/atolaw/view.htm?doci...1/NAT/ATO/00001 I work for myself in Kalgoorlie atm and I can pay myself $96.60 for meals and $102.50 for accomodation each day and not pay tax on it, doesnt appear on my income statement. Not sure how you would go claiming it back as an employee as it depends on how your employer has setup up your wages as you might already be getting this similar thing factored into your salary package. Hope this is some help to you, best bet is to shoot in to see an account (which is tax deductable) and they will run you through your best options. P.s headland is a dump.
