Expenses

[Cyberman]

In all my years of contracting I have never claimed for lunch. To me you need to eat regardless of where you are. Generally, I would take a packed lunch anyway.

Er what are you talking about?
who gives u £30 a day?
U have a Ltd (or umbrella)..u do stuff..u invoice agency (this will include expenses incurred and approved by end client).

If they will only approve £30 and it's not enough talk to end client

We get £30 a day for food etc. but we work in the Middle East a lot and £30 won't cover 3 meals a day.

[Olly]

best advice is to claim what you spend.....
in addition there's a £10 allowance for overnight incidentals, but you didn't ask that question

[NotAllThere]

It's what you spend.

...more Dom Perignon anyone?

Hi,
are there guidelines in the Uk for an amount of money per day you should receive for Food/drink when working abroad? Is it dependent on which country you are working in?

Any help is appeciated.

Thanks
