Subsistence Payments

The Subsistence Payments

The Council pays subsistence rates that mirror HMRC rates (Rates and allowances: travel — mileage and fuel allowances - GOV.UK)of reimbursement. Payments are made upon the production of actual receipts and are only allowable when an Officer is working outside of the district. The current rates of reimbursement are as follows:

Working outside of the district for more than 5 hours: £5.

Working outside of the district for more than 10 hours: £10.

Working outside of the district for more than 15 hours, or if the travel is ongoing after 8pm: £25.

The use of the Inland Revenue Rate ensures a fair and consistent rate of reimbursement for business mileage and subsistence across the Council.
