Individuals are required to maintain a travel diary for taxation purposes. This diary may be required if there is a question about the quantum of the travel grant. Staff should be aware that the Australian Taxation Office wishes to assess individual cases on their merits. The interpretation of current Taxation Office rulings (see TR 98/9), however, may limit the claims of those academics living away from home during sabbatical to business-related expenses, such as business related telephone calls, conference travel, library depreciation and the like. It is the responsibility of the academic member of staff to seek advice on this issue.
