from1/1/08 allowances that can be paid tax free is increased by 4.3% to £29.85.
where there are local agreements with HM Customs and excise these can be increased by 4.33%.
The above are for drivers without sleeper cabs.
For sleepers the figure is 75% of the above figure.
received this from the union and thought it may be useful to some.
Cheers.
I’ll see the gaffer about this as this years pay rise has been frozen. This could get me an extra £5.00 for each night out (every little helps).

From those figures, it would seem that our £21:46 tax free, should be £22:38

Just cos they’re allowed to pay up to £22.38 tax free it doesn’t mean they have to pay that much, or indeed anything at all if they don’t want to.

Sorry - how do HMRC know what the hell cab you’re in?
I’ve got a sleeper cab, but I don’t do nights out. What can I claim then?

Well if the firm don’t run any day cabs it’ll be kind of obvious if they check.

My accountant has gone to bed, but I seem to remember that it is higher if you are confined to main roads/motorways e.g. trunking or long distance. I’ll check though.
We get a fiver a day food allowance after 8 hours…£9 when we hit 14.5 hours and £15 for sleeping in cab…which makes an overnighter worth £6
