Travel and Subsistence – Can the company claim for certain medical costs?


The cost of necessary medical treatment should you fall ill or get injured may be claimed in certain circumstances subject to HMRC guidelines.


These costs include:

  • One health screening and one medical check-up per year
  • Medical treatment abroad whilst working on company business overseas
  • Eye test, glasses and contacts, if wholly for VDU business use

Health screening is to identify who may be a particular risk of ill-health and must be carried out by a health professional. The above expenses would not incur a benefit in kind.
