Meal Allowance

sapper:
If your company decides to give you a daily meal allowance, I’m not sure what the tax free limits are, do they get any tax relief on it, or do they bear the costs themselves.?

See the following guidance

gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manual … l/eim66205

I pay a meal allowance of £5 a day if they’re away from home base for over 5 hours, and there is no checking of receipts or expenditure, just that they were away for over 5 hours, which can be checked using a tracker.

The cost comes from the employer, but there is no tax or NI to pay on it.
