Notice of Withdrawal

Taxation Determination TD 93/113 is withdrawn with effect from today.

1. This Determination ruled that journeys made by teachers travelling to their regular school are a private expense and the costs incurred in undertaking this travel are not deductible under subsection 51(1) of Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.

2. This Determination has been withdrawn as the view is now included in Draft Taxation Ruling TR 2017/D6 Income tax and fringe benefits tax: when are deductions allowed for employees' travel expenses? which issued on 28 June 2017. The draft ruling covers employees in all occupations and refers to current law: section 8-1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
