Subsistence Query

[stbs]

I have a question regarding subsistence.

I have a new client who works as a site manager, travelling between various sites within about a 50-60 mile radius of his home.

He claims employment expenses on his tax return.

I have worked out the amount to claim for mileage.

Would I be allowed to claim anything for subsistence?

He does not receive a meal allowance from his employer.

I have looked through the HMRC guidance but cant find an answer.

Any help much appreciated

IIRC they can claim £5 or £10 depending on shift length plus an amount for an evening meal, but no more than £15/day. My memory could be wrong but it is those kind of figures.

If you don't know the answer to this, should you be completing people's tax returns?

Thanks for the replies.

I am aware of the rules regarding subsistence but was not sure whether the fact that my client was working nearer to home as opposed to working "away" had any bearing.

I should have explained myself better in my original post, apologies.
