Overseas subsistence allowance & incidental overnight allowance

Didn't find your answer?

Hi
Does anybody know if, when claiming the overseas subsistence allowance

you can ALSO claim the £10 per night incidental overnight expenses?
Many thanks

The subsistence allowance was always meant for allowable expenses (food and lodging). The incidental allowance was always meant for non-allowable things, like a newspaper, laundry, or phoning home at 50p per minute. They don't overlap.

From whom?

My clients claim the actual cost.
