Travelling Expenses
Tax relief can be obtained for travelling in the course of your work (but for which you are not reimbursed or not * fully reimbursed by your employer).
Typically you may be sent to provide cover or carry out a particular project at another establishment, or work at customers’ premises, or just run errands on your employer’s behalf. Where it can be demonstrated that the travel costs arise either from necessary temporary attendance as part of your duties or in the performance of your duties, then tax relief may be available.
The costs of ordinary travel to your permanent workplace are not deductible.
*Notes: The Approved Mileage Rates are:
-
First 10,000 miles - 40p
- Thereafter - 25p
You can claim the difference between the approved amount (if greater) and the amount received from your employer.
