Pet Travel Tips for People Who Want to Vacation With Their Dogs

By Norman Tuker


When travelling you would want to have your smartphone with you, use it like you always do, have fun with it and generally refer to it for any query of life. The weather is fair and you want to visit a theme park, go out to the beach to sunbathe or simply gaze into the beautiful summer sky and do all this while chatting via 2go or uploading videos to YouTube using your phone. Well, you can do that and much more thanks to life of Android, a company in Britain that sacrificed some quality holiday time to come up with the following travel tips.

Does your pet want to travel? Lots of dogs are more than happy to embark on a new adventure... but that's not true for every dog. To travel safely and comfortably, dogs should be healthy, calm in new situations and around, house-trained, and should enjoy traveling. A stressed-out dog will in turn cause stressed-out people. A happy and well-mannered dog, on the other hand, will make them a joy to have around on holidays.

Allowable business expenses must be incurred for an existing business only, i.e. you can't deduct travel expenses related to acquiring or starting a new business. Those travel expenses should be treated as part of the capitalized startup cost. When you travel on business internationally then all your travel expenses related to getting to and from your business destination are deductible. If you spend part of your time abroad on personal business then you must check if you are can deduct all your travel expenses or if you must allocate them proportionally between business and private expense. When you travel on business domestically it makes difference if your travel includes an overnight stay away from your tax home or not. If it doesn't include an overnight stay then it's considered a local same day business excursion and you must make sure your trip qualifies as such, i.e. must be a reasonable distance from your tax home and for clear business purposes.

Your tax home is generally the entire area where your main place of business or work is located, regardless of where you maintain your family home. So if you live in one place and work in another then your travel cost is not for business purposes. You might want to combine travelling for business and pleasure. That's fine as long as you know what allowable business expenses is and what isn't. Business travel tips reminds you that all tax authorities do look out for taxpayers that might be tempted to classify a nondeductible personal trip as a deductible business trip so always make sure you follow your local rules to the letter.

Normally you can deduct your travelling expenses to and from the destination only if the trip is primarily related to your business. If your trip is primarily personal in nature than you can't deduct any of your airfare, accommodation and other travelling expenses... even if you engage in some business activities while there. You can however deduct any particular normal business expenses you incur while there and are directly related to your business, i.e. taxi fare for your business appointment. It's the facts and circumstances that decide if your trip is primarily for business or pleasure. The amount you spend on your business activities compared to your private activities is usually the deciding factor. Always play by the rules.

Few Practical Business Travel Tips Keep your records up to date and in perfect manner. In order to claim business travel expenses you must keep adequate records of your travels and be able to show the invoices and prove the existence, amount, and business purposes of your expenses.
