Hello,
I have an investment property in Adelaide. I live in Sydney. It is a DHA property and I have had some issues with it. I want to go down and inspect the work done. DHA have rules that inspections are pre booked in advance etc. I am looking at something like this :
Friday - Fly Sydney to Adelaide ( wife & I )
Hire a car and drive to inspect property and meet with DHA
Overnight accommodation in Adelaide
Saturday Return Flights to Sydney.
I understand that almost 100% of that trip above would be tax deductable due to it being the MAIN PURPOSE of attending Adelaide.
If I added two extra nights accommodation is that considered reasonable or private travel. Might stay extra few nights away from kids.
Any suggestions what is the best way to go about this. I can break the first part up totally as scenario 1 and pay for the extra two nights myself. I will have evidence of inspection, travel ( plan tickets ) accomodation, taxi or Hire Car , meals on that day ....
Never taken advantage of this with all my properties.
Advice is greatly appreciated.
