Additional meal costs

Additional meal costs

Didn't find your answer?

Limited company (sole director) has been offered work away from home. If I rent a house can I claim meal costs / groceries as an allowable expense? I know if I stay in a B & B I can but something is telling me that if I have the capability of cooking facilities HMRC will not allow the deduction as it is treat as if you are still at home?

Any guidance on a sunny Friday afternoon most appreciated.

Temporary Workplace?

If you are renting a house this is presumably a long-ish contract - will it still fall within the temporary workplace rules? If not, no relief for accommodation costs or subsistence.

Uncertain

Could be anywhere between 6 weeks and 6 months - work permitting
