Ah this is a resurrected thread - I was getting confused.

We need to know what you do before trying to answer the "Lunch" question.
HGV driver?

You are not the only one - guess my post was completely irrelevant now?

LoL. Naaah> Just a Pharmacist. I wouldnt normally even think about claiming for lunch but I came across this on one of the otehr site sthis morning where people were debating and it looked like theyc ame to conclusing you could claim up to £6.50 per day as long as you keep the receeipts.

But, i somehow do not agreee. It is something youw ould still have even if you were not working. So, I dont see the point of claiming this.

Thanks

It is a slightly grey area.
Lorry drivers can claim a modest amount, because it is a bit difficult to call in at Tesco with a 40' trailer on the back.
Van drivers cannot.

I doubt a pharmacist within range of their home bed for the night, would get away with it.

It is another area of mission creep at HMRC, once upon a time, when my mum was a commuter on the last "workman's" train in the morning, her employer could give her a "luncheon voucher" tax free. It would pay for at least a two course lunch.

Now I feel really old - has it not been 15p exempt for a lifetime? They will be checking for the company horse next!

Am I correct in calculating mileage?

Lets say, i travelled 30 miles, company gives 25p per mile for anything over and above 20 miles.
So I can claim, 0.40p x 30miles = £12 less (30-20) x 0.25p = £9.50?

Thanks

Can someone verify this as I want ti know how much i can claim if i travelled 30 miles and was refunded for 10 miles @ 0.25p per mile. and nothing for first 20 miles?
Thanks

Your calculation is correct

I seem to have a memory of 2/6d (?) as well as 15p.
How much does it cost to use a superloo these days?

I do remember getting a decent plate of traditional grub die 15p in Leicester market in the 1970's.
The idea was that the voucher made of for the (free or almost free) food in factory canteens.
Is it still tax allowable to feed your workers; it is not as though they can sell that benefit in kind to someone else.
