What travel expenses can I claim as a sole trader in Australia?

You can claim travel expenses if you travel away from home overnight for business. This includes: - Airfares, train, bus, or taxi/Uber fares. - Accommodation. - Meals and incidental expenses. If the trip is 100% for business, you can claim the full cost. If it's a mix of business and pleasure (e.g., a 5-day conference followed by a 2-day holiday), you must apportion the costs and only claim the business part. **Travel Diary:** If you travel away from home for **6 or more consecutive nights**, you MUST keep a travel diary. This diary should record the dates, places, times, and nature of the business activities.

• Claim overnight business travel: flights, hotels, meals
• Must apportion for personal/leisure time
• Travel diary required for trips of 6+ nights
• Keep all receipts and boarding passes
• Commuting from home is NOT business travel
