You must have at least one or more business appointments before you leave.


You must have at least one or more business appointments before you leave.
By definition, you are on business travel whenever you are sleeping overnight in a strange bed... conducting business!
Tip: You would, however, need to document all these items in your diary. Hopefully, you are beginning to realize that a good tax diary is essential in order to audit proof your records.
Thus, not only do you have to have some appointments in advance, but also the majority of the days must be for business.
The bottom line is that, with proper planning, you can deduct most of your vacations if you combine them with some business and, therefore, you can make your life a lot less taxing!
