While operating as a sole trader over the last 6 months I have been including transport costs (bus tickets, parking, tolls etc) as expenses, for times when I was required to be at one of my clients premises in the city centre (I live about 12/15kms outside the city).
Now that I have formed a Ltd. Co. and am an employee I can claim subsistence rates, as 90% of the time that I am at these premises it is for 5 hours or more.
My question is, if I claim subsistence rates I presume I can no longer claim the above expenses as well? In other words, the idea of subsistence rates is to compensate for expenses like these that employees must bear themselves?
