Travelling Allowances
Councillors are permitted to claim mileage expenses as specified below.
The rates are set by the Inland Revenue and are such that no taxable element is included.
| Mileage Allowance | Price |
|---|---|
| Per mile for the first 10,000 miles | 45.0p |
| Per mile after 10,000 miles | 25.0p |
There are additional allowances for transporting passengers, bicycles and motorcycles as follows:
| Allowance | Price |
|---|---|
| For each passenger | 5p per mile |
| Bicycle rate | 20p per mile |
| Motorcycle rate | 24p per mile |
Travelling Allowances will normally be payable in respect of attendance at any Approved Duty, except that they may not be claimed where the Body attended pays them.
