Travelling to and from a place of work is not classified by HMRC as business travel and as such employees cannot claim business mileage expenses. Therefore, it is currently considered that volunteers also travelling to and from places for volunteering duties fall within the same category and mileage cannot be claimed.
However, the RST Trustees have considered all aspects of mileage expenses for volunteers attending voluntary duties and offer a volunteer rate of 30p for each mile travelled above 25 miles for each volunteer duty.
All claims are subject to our current Renumeration and Subsistence Policy.
Submit your claim by the 5th working day of the following month in which the expenses were incurred:
