There's a new tax scam doing the rounds online. Here's what it looks like 👇

If you’re being asked by the ATO to click on a 'DocuSign' link to release your tax return – don’t. It's not us.

It’s a scam designed to steal your personal info to:

💰 Commit refund fraud
💰 Access your tax and super details
💰 Sell your identity to organised crime groups

We never use ‘DocuSign’ to finalise tax refunds. If you receive an email like this, here's what you need to do 👇

For our Interstate Truck Drivers;
Yes, you can claim the Commissioner's Maximum Daily Limit on your meals away from home IF you consistently spend it or higher.
Yes, the Tax Determination does technically say 'without substantiation'.
NO that does not mean you can get away with not keeping any evidence to prove that you spend what you are claiming in the course of your employment.

Fatigue Diaries/ Log Books, Bank Statements, Meal and Grocery Receipts will all help support the claim in any review the ATO may want to do.

A truck driver has won an appeal against an objection decision involving deductions for meal expenses.
