Travel Allowance

Travel Allowance

A Travel Allowance is a tax free allowance that can be salary sacrificed within an individual’s pay to compensate for the expenditure on accommodation, food and incidentals whilst the individual is away from their usual place of residence for employment purposes for 21 days or less.

The company was established in 1977 in the UK to accommodate the expanding freelance contracting market. The company opened in Australia in 1992 and was the first to operate exclusively in the contract market and is still the leader in this field with offices in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

A Travel Allowance can only be salary sacrificed within an individual’s pay if the employer is not covering the costs associated with the business trip.

This allowance is determined by rates set by the Australian Tax Office (ATO) each financial year and is set in accordance with the state by which the individual is travelling to and their salary bracket.
