Travel food and drink is no longer claimable

You might have noticed that the 'Travel Food & Drink' and 'International Food & Drink' expense categories are no longer available.

This is because the IRD have clarified that food and drink while travelling for work is not claimable. As a result we have removed the relevant expense categories. Entertaining clients while travelling is still claimable and the 'Food & Drink' category can be used for this situation.

For transactions that have already been categorised as 'Travel Food & Drink' or 'International Food & Drink', we have left these expenses categorised as to not effect any previously filed returns. However we do recommend that you uncategorise any travel food and drink transactions before filing your next income tax return.
