In this case I consider there is a clear distinction in the various cases between daily travel from the house where a taxpayer chooses to live and sleep on the one hand and business or professio
nal trips on the other. A barrister on circuit is on a professional trip and his travelling expenses are always deductible. A barrister commuting daily from his home to his chambers is engaged in travel that is part of his living expenses and is not deduc
tible.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid11146835\charrsid11146835

Moreover, it cannot be said even of
 the morning journey to work that it is undertaken in order to enable the traveller to exercise his profession. It is undertaken for the purpose of neutralising the effect of his departure from his place of business, for private purposes, on the previous

In my judgment the fact of the Appellant living in Adelaide is irrelevant. If it were relevant the result would be that no retired taxpayer could ever deduct business travelling expenses when monitoring his investments nor could any taxpayer still in the 
workforce who chose to live somewhere that was not one of his business locations. There are many people in such situations. In my judgment the true test is whether or not the trip is a business trip or, on the other hand, is part of the taxpayer\rquote

Accommodation when on a business trip is treated as a business expense for tax purposes. The approach taken both by the Courts and the Commissioner for Inland Revenue in the United Kingdom seems to be that accommodation at a taxpayer\rquote 
s home is available to him as part of his domestic expenses. If he is obliged to be away from home for a business purpose and incur the additional costs of hotel accommodation, then these additional costs are incurred solely for a business 
purpose. They are expenses additional to and quite distinct from his ongoing domestic expenses in maintaining a home. The principles are referred to by Nourse J. (as he then was) in\~}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0 \ltrch\fcs0

The cost of the food, drink and accommodation at the annual conference stands on a different footing. I do not think that the cost of the a
ccommodation can necessarily be said to have been expenditure which met the needs of the partners as human beings. They did not need it for that purpose because they all had their own homes where they could have spent the night. The reason why they needed
 
it was so that they could continue their discussion of the particularly important topics informally between the formal sessions on the Saturday afternoon and the Sunday morning. If they had had to break up and go home after dinner on the Saturday evening 
a
nd come back on the Sunday morning, that continuity, which was of considerable importance and value, would have been broken or at least seriously damaged. In the circumstances, it seems to me that the commissioner was entitled, on the facts found, to conc
lude that the business purpose in incurring the cost of the accommodation was the exclusive purpose and that the private benefit to the partners was purely incidental.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

The same considerations do not necessarily apply to the cost of the food and drink. The well-established general practice of the Inland Revenue in the case of what are known as `travelling occupations\rquote 
 is not to distinguish between the cost of travel and accommodation on the one hand and food and drink on
 the other. In other words, hotel bills, if reasonable in amount, are usually allowed in full. I have no reason to think that the practice does not correctly represent the law. However, counsel for the Crown has}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

The partners in a firm of solicitors were accustomed to entertain existing 
clients of the firm to luncheon at a social club and various restaurants. During luncheon, business was discussed. The legal advice given to clients at luncheon was charged to them in the normal way, but the fees charged did not include the expenses of th
e
 meals, which were paid by the firm. This practice was adopted by the partners both for their own convenience, so that they could devote the remainder of the day to other work in their offices, and for the convenience of clients. The partners claimed to d
educt the cost of these entertainments (which included the cost of their own meals) in computing the profits of the firm for assessment to income tax. The Income Tax Act, 1918 scheduled D, Cases I and II, r.3(a), forbids the deduction of \'93
any disbursements or expenses, not being money wholly and exclusively laid out or expended for the purposes of the trade, profession, employment, or vocation.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

From those findings of fact there is in my judgment only one reasonable conclusion to be drawn, namely that the taxpayer\rquote s sole purpose in incurring the expenditure was a professional purpose, any other benefit being purely incidental.\'94}{

It may be said that an expenditure which serves the purpose of the taxpayer\rquote s business or profession also serves the taxpayer\rquote s personal purposes on the basis that what is good for his business or profession will be good for him 
personally. However, it is scarcely to be supposed that the legislature intends to disqualify an expenditure for that reason. In other words, the non-business or non-professional purpose to be excluded by s.19(b) is a purpose distinct from the business or
 
professional purpose which justifies the deduction of the expenditure. And this supports the view that motive, though it may be a relevant factor, is by no means a decisive factor. If the purpose of the expenditure is truly for the purpose of the taxpayer
\rquote s business or profession, it matters not that the taxpayer has in mind some personal advantage which is a consequence of that purpose.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid11146835\charrsid11146835

. Lying beyond that immediate purpose was unquestionably another purpose, namely the purpose of restoring and maintaining client confidence in the firm, thereby maintain
ing or enhancing its profit-earning capacity. In these circumstances, is it possible to conclude that the moneys were laid out or expended exclusively for the purpose of the taxpayer\rquote

 immediate purpose of the payment was to discharge what was personal liability, it was a partnership liability and was incurred in the capacity of a partner. The fact that the liability was personal does not give the disbursement a character or purpose wh
ich is independent of the conduct of the professional practice of the taxpayer and his partners. The personal purpose served by the disbursement purpose was an integral element in the professional purpose which the disbursement served.\'94}{\rtlch\fcs1

The reason why this penalty was imposed in the first place was because of the late filing by Michelle of returns. This is because the records which Mr. Jamnadas needed, the books of Michelle Apartments could not be found. Th

For several years, until 1995, the Respondent has encouraged, and suggested to Mr. Jamnadas\rquote s methods of claiming both travel and accommodation expenditure which, in the cleare
st terms and the best authority, is not allowed under the Act. It is clear to this Court, having seen and listened to all the witnesses, that having reduced his income to such an extent that it was not worth claiming travel and accommodation expenses any 
longer against it, he, Mr. Mudaliar and the Respondent got together to arrange a redistribution of these unlawful expenditure claims against the growing incomes of Primetime and Michelle.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0

Counsel for the Respondent had informed Mr. Saunders that the Respondent was prepared to forego 80% of the penalty in each case. Obviously Mr. Saunders thought this was not enough and I agree. The penalty origin
ally imposed was $26,313.00 in respect of Michelle Apartments which had been reduced when the appeal came before me to $11,621.00.}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs27 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs27\cf1\lang1033\langfe1033\langnp1033\insrsid11146835\charrsid11146835
