Expenses Policy

26 June 2015

This document looks at general travel and subsistence policy and relates to out of pocket expenses incurred as result of the duties undertaken for Transport Focus.  The overriding principle for expenses claims is that they should only cover the costs necessarily incurred in carrying out such activities.  Transport Focus is a publicly funded body, therefore has to ensure that it minimises expenditure and provides value for money (eg booking rail tickets as far in advance as possible, travelling in off-peak times etc), and also ensure that any personal tax consequences for individuals are transparent.
