(Note: Contractor is a sole proprietor if it makes > any difference.) I doubt that all of the meals are actually consumed ~on site~ and that is what would have to happen. Maybe if they bring in lunch - to the job site - then it's going to be 100% deductible, but the other meals, consumed off-site but in town, would not. -- Paul A.

| Employer Provided Meals Contractor bids and wins a job several hundred miles out of the area and takes his local W-2 work crew with him rather than try to find/hire unknown workers there. He pays all travel, lodging and meal expenses while they are "on the road" for the job. Question: Can this be considered as meals provided for the convenience of the employer and on the employers' place of employment? ie: Can the out of area job site be considered the employer's place of business for this job so that the contractor can deduct 100% of the meals expense in this instance? (Note: Contractor is a sole proprietor if it makes any difference.) << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
