So I'm currently on a contract overseas, and after initially staying in a hotel, am now renting an apartment. Previously I claimed all hotel costs and all food costs (restaurants/supermarket) as expenses against tax. Now that I'm in an apartment with a kitchen, can I still claim food expenses given that they would be no different to if I were at home?
As an alternative, do the IR allow you to claim just a flat rate allowance for being away from home?
