Hi, Please could someone clarify if a job is away from home, can the self employed claim for snacks purchased whilst away?

I have allowed for the McDonalds meals and KFC but there are days when he chose to buy snacks instead of meals. (Pot noodles, crisps, biscuits, chocolate bars)

Thanks in advance

Hi Blue

As I understand it, where a business trip is an occasional event, then any purchases made are allowable. If say he was out and about every day, it wouldnt be.

Thoughts are my own/not to be regarded as official advice,which should be sought from a suitably qualified Accountant.
