Tax treatment of lorry drivers: subsistence allowances paid to lorry drivers: lorries with sleeper cabs
Where the employer is satisfied that the employee necessarily incurred expenses as a result of a night spent away from home and his or her permanent workplace (if any), HMRC accepts that a payment of 75% of the figure shown at EIM66110 does no more than reimburse the expense incurred when the driver uses their sleeper cab overnight.

75% of £34.90 = £26.175.

Sidevalve:
Apparently if your vehicles are fitted with a tracker system, you don’t need receipts; presumably because it can be proven that the vehicle is away from base.

Don’t suppose you could perchance find an official link to that could you please Sidevalve? I only ask as sometimes it’s a PITA getting receipts.

I don’t find getting the receipts a problem as much as keeping and finding them on a Friday, I always seem to clear my cab out and the receipts end up in a rubbish bag,
