Overseas Travel and Living Allowance
Hi, I am employed in the UK and pay tax through PAYE. In 2023, I spent 4 weeks overseas as part of my job and was hosted by a partner organisation in Germany. This organisation provided me with a weekly living allowance (to cover accommodation and food) and also paid my travel costs to and from Germany. These expenses were paid directly to me rather than through my UK employer. Do I need to declare these expenses on my self-assessment? If so, under what section do they belong? Sorry, I'm very confused with this one!
