A shout out to all those tax practitioners for your input.
TR 2004/6 deals with "reasonable allowances" and the substantiation exceptions available to some taxpayers who then use the reasonable allowance amount issued in an annual Tax Determination to avoid the need for 100% substantiation using receipts etc.
In that ruling there is a condition....The accommodation must be provided "in a commercial establishment such as a hotel, motel or serviced apartment".
Question : It doesn't say cabin in a commercially operated caravan park and no guidance is given. Review of BPR's doesn't give any insight either. Certainly the Cmmr doesn't agree on friends cottages, sleeping rough, tents, caravans etc. What do you think ?? I'm contemplating a determination on the terminology used.
