it can certainly be argued that/there is a guestion of

Explanation:
It is a clever way of saying that there is an argument for the cost being claimable as an expense or that it should be reimbursed.

Any meals that cannot be taken at home....

Explanation:
Ik zou de zin omgooien:

Any meals that cannot be taken at home qualify as substantially business-related meals

Bedoeld wordt dat dergelijke maaltijden in ieder geval worden aangemerkt als meer dan bijkomstig zakelijke maaltijden.

Als dit meer specifiek jouw tekst is past de volgende suggestie wellicht:

any meals that cannot be taken at home (between 7 pm and 10 pm) because of work qualify as substantially business-related meals
