FAQ 2639
What are the major changes to subsistence?

Mandatory limits apply for how much that can be claimed for UK subsistence; this is based on period of absence from the University.

 

 

 

Over 6 hours but less than 9 hours is £10

 

For over 9 hours the limit is £40

 

 

 

These limits cover breakfast, lunch and dinner. Claims for teas, coffees and light refreshments that do not accompany breakfast, lunch or dinner are not permissible.

 

 

 

For overseas breakfast and dinner rates see the HMRC guideline amounts see: HMRC Worldwide Subsistence Rates
