A sole trader working on films as a production buyer receives a car allowance, meal allowance, phone allowance and sometimes PDs from the production company (paid along with her fees). She is also reimbursed for some petrol.
She claims mobile phone costs in her expenses.
She claims all motor running costs, including petrol that has not been reimbursed, and apportions these according to private usage.
With regard to meal allowance and per diems, she gets per diems to cover meals when she stays away for work and then meal allowances if she’s away from on-set catering or on a recce.
Can she put in the expense of food & drink bought when staying away that she receives per diems for under the normal rules for subsistence? What about the meal allowance? Would the food she buys with this be allowable as an expense as the reasoning for her getting this implies she is travelling for work, but not on an overnight stay?
Many thanks for any help with this.
