Travel And Tax Deductions
It's common knowledge that travel
directly related to business, such
as attending conferences,
traveling to acquire new business
or investment property, board
meetings, etc.

business travel? There are four
main rules that apply in order to
claim tax deductions for
business travel: 1.
These are all eligible tax
deductions on business
days but not on personal
days.
It's important to note that
eligible deductions are for
business days only, not
personal days.
In order to make tax
deductions, the majority of
your days on the trip need to
be business days.
Third, how to determine a legal
'business day' To count a trip
day as a business day, it must
meet one of the categories in
the following list: 1.
Spend more than half of
normal business hours in
the pursuit of business.
If an owner must be at a
particular place for a specific
and bona fide business
purpose, this counts as a
business day.
Business travel days are
those spent traveling in a
reasonably direct route to
the business destination.
You can travel to exotic locations using
the 7-day travel rule The 7-day travel
rule allows a 100 percent deduction of
transportation costs to a business
destination even if only one day was
spent working and the rest of the time
on the beach.
