Living Away From Home Allowance? What's it all about?
Hi Everyone,
I've been working for my company almost a year on a 457 visa but a friend has just mentioned he has got a "Living Away from Home Allowance" which has allowed him to reduce his tax burden by a huge %
I've looked on www.ato.gov.au but it wasn't much use
Can anyone out there tell me what this scheme is, how I apply for it, if I can, and any other stuff. Would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Owen
