A Russian citizen, has a business in UK. He sometimes has to visit Russia for business reasons. How much daily allowance can he claim when he is in Russia. A consultant in Russia has advised him that he can claim £50 per day as daily allowance and can claim the total amount (number of days of his visit multiply by £50) as taxable expense in his SA return. Can any one confirm if this is right?
