Hi In my SA please can you advise if I can claim back expenses incurred in helping out a registered charity organisation. I shall be travelling aboard to undertake voluntary work for the charity. Volunteers have been told they have to fund their own expenses eg. flights, accommodation and any other costs that are incurred relating to the volunteering. Kindly confirm which, if any, of these costs are claimable in the self assessment. Please can you advise which section of the SA these costs are captured against. Thanks

Hi Mark Ross,
Tax relief cannot be claimed on expenses for voluntary work and the travel expenses are not seen as a donation to claim gift aid. further guidance is at:
Volunteer opportunities, rights and expenses
