HMRC EXPENSES RATES FOR EMPLOYEES TRAVELLING OUTSIDE THE UK

Hi I notice that the rates that are provided have not been updated since April 2019 is there any plans to review due to the increases in cost of living. Additionally the rates for Turkey specifically Istanbul are all in Turkish Lira except otherwise stated (room rate is the only exception). Is this correct because for example dinner at 86.50TRY is approximately just under £2. It is not possible to feed yourself for this amount especially when staying in a hotel. Lunch is a similar issue at 60.50TRY. The current exchange rate for TRY to Pounds sterling is 46.2 TRY to £1 pound sterling. Regards Russ

Hi,
Please refer to the following Links & Guidance which shows the current expense rates for employees working in Turkey:
Countries S to U
Thank you.

I have read the rates and that is why I have asked the question in the first place. Referring me back to the rates that I queried is not an answer. The question is, is there an error with the rate currency and should all the rates be in Euro's and not Turkish Lira.

Hi,
Those are the only rates available.  
We cannot comment on rate amounts.
Thank you.

Hi That is noted. Please advise where I can officially query the rates within the HMRC site as I am unable to determine where this would be done. Many thanks.

Russ
