We have a property which is 60 miles away - so round trip 120 miles. Have been doing loads of work up there recently which is more or less finished now, but there is still one job outstanding. There is a corner plot of land which people have been 'fly tipping in' - to stop this we want to get a digger in and clear out the area and then fence off.
Can we let our handyman stay over in a travel lodge for one or two nights and claim for a reasonable evening meal and breakfast whilst he project manages and then puts the new fence up? I guess realistically it must be acceptable as he could just invoice us to include his expenses as well as his labour costs?
Grateful if someone can confirm if this is acceptable to the tax man.
Many thanks
