Originally posted as a bump up to an ld thread on 1st Feb, but no responses, which may be down to it being an old thread. I've tried to find an answer before posting, but to no avail
Company Director subby away from home for more than 5 hours, was claiming subsistence for meals with previous accountant. He's indicated that he would rather buy food from the supermarket and take packed lunches, and this months receipts show food purchased for his pack up (no qualms on actual cost, he hasn't tried to put the weeks shopping on there!!)
I'm thinking a definite no but nothing to back up my thoughts so a/ is this allowable and b/ if not do I need to see receipts if allowing the £5 a day subsistence and c/ providing b/ is allowable should this be on payslip or just as an expense in the accounts.
I'm pretty good in general on payroll but this is an area where I fall down slightly.
