I was fully reimbursed by my client for meals I purchased while providing services to my client. Are my meals expenses 100% deductible in this case?

Yes. You will be able to fully deduct your meals expense against the reimbursement (which is treated as income). Therefore, the net effect on your income would be $0. The amount will be 50% deductible for your client.t be charged on shareholder loans to avoid a taxable benefit.
