Tax and Deductions for Incidental Expenses
For Businesses: Some incidental expenses like business travel expenses, advertising costs, etc., may qualify for some deductions and reduce taxable income for businesses, but up to some extent. The expenses qualified for deductions must be ‘incidental.’
For Individuals: Some work-related, business-related, and professional development incidental expenses that the employee bears may be eligible for some deductions. Generally, 50% of the meal costs are deductible, using either a standard deduction or itemising actual costs.
