Saving Money on Work-Related Travel
Travel and overnight expenses are eligible for tax relief, allowing you to claim back the money you've spent on various items related to your work-related travel. This includes public transport costs, hotel accommodation for overnight stays, expenses for meals and drinks, congestion charges, tolls, parking fees, and business phone calls and printing costs.
In addition, you may be able to claim tax relief on business mileage. The amount you can claim depends on the type of vehicle you are using for work purposes. If you are using a vehicle that you have purchased or leased with your own funds, you may be eligible for tax relief. Similarly, if you are using a vehicle owned or leased by your employer (a company vehicle), you may still be able to claim tax relief, but the specific details and rules may vary.
