Subsistence and benchmark scale rates

Subsistence and benchmark scale rates

Didn't find your answer?

A Ltd co has two workers who are both directors based at their homes one being in the North and the other in the South.

Their roles involve travel to construction sites all over the country so there are hotel, B & B and evening meal/breakfast costs for when they are away from home which can be for 1-4 nights per week (usually visiting more than one site). This works well as they provide invoices/receipts for the costs that are pre-booked by the company and paid for by the company.

They also incur lunch costs whilst on these trips but pay for these themselves as and when they can grab something and receipts are not always forthcoming and they like to keep their admin to a minimum.

Can they claim the HMRC 'One meal 5-hour rate' of £5 rather than actual costs for lunch whilst claiming breakfast and evening meals on an actual basis?
