Key legal question
Whether the wife was entitled to the full annual deduction for out-of-town meal expenses.
Extracted holding
No. Without proof that the employer's canteen could not be used at all, only the half deduction applies.
Extracted reasoning
The employer provided a canteen, and the taxpayers failed to prove an absolute exclusion from its use. The limited number of seats and menu pre-order requirement did not establish impossibility or unreasonableness.
