Umbrella Expenses: Daily Subsistence

27th November 2009

Subsistence is basically meal costs incurred whilst working at a temporary workplace, such as meals, drinks etc. Carrington has a special dispensation with HMRC which allows our contractors to claim these expenses against tax without providing receipts to us each week! Less admin hassle and paperwork for our contractors.

You can refer to the below schedule and claim according to these rates

  London Elsewhere
Breakfast (if leaving home before 7.30am) £6 £5
Lunch £7 £6
Evening Meal (if still at temp workplace after 7.30pm) £11 £10

You can only ever claim expenses that have been incurred wholly and exclusively for business purposes, you must only ever claim for expenses you have actually incurred.

If you have any questions about this please contact us on 0207 324 6020.
