I am helping out with MY expense reports and have a question about the meals & incidentals being claimed on CER000669662 (Othman, Adie Shah).
This employee is claiming 9 days of meals but there are no receipts. On the missing receipts page, the employee is saying these are site allowances and meal allowances and there is no deduction for GST.
In the guidance I have for MY, GST is supposed to be claimed for meals. There is also a note that “Unless per diem governs, the traveler will be reimbursed the actual reasonable costs for meals plus taxes and tips on business trips away from the home office” – however there are no receipts providing the GST registration number.
Please advise. There are no dollar amount limits what is considered for ‘reasonable costs’ and I am unsure how to proceed. I attached the expense report.
