01 August 2009 Dear Sir,
Our company pays a certain amount as, "out of pocket expense " (OPE) allownace per day basis when we are out of office for work. OPE is expected to cover expenses for which employees/we may not be able to get supporting bills/receipts e.g. porterage, light reading material, snacks, Tips, water and soft drinks etc.

My question is should this amount be included in my income and taxed ?
