Taxable travel costs for MPs’ Staff

Travel costs are the costs that are incurred when MPs’ Staff are undertaking a business journey.

These can include plane or rail tickets, bus fares, mileage, tolls, congestion charges and parking, and related costs such as accommodation, subsistence, and incidental expenses.

Details of travel costs that MP staff can claim for are set out in the Scheme and all claims must have a parliamentary purpose.

Reimbursement of travel costs must also meet the criteria set out by HMRC to determine whether they are "taxable" or "non-taxable".

As we approach the new financial year, we have produced some guidance to help MPs’ Staff with any taxable costs. For more information, visit Taxable travel costs for MPs’ Staff.
