Main rule for tax-free day allowance

A day allowance can only be paid tax-free when the journey is considered work-related travel. The employee must have incurred additional meal expenses compared with a normal day. Ordinary meal expenses alone do not qualify because the employee would have incurred these expenses regardless of their place of work.
