Free Expenses Policy (UK)

An expenses policy template for UK businesses that want claims to stay fair, reasonable and properly recorded. It sets out what staff can and cannot claim, how mileage works using HMRC approved rates, the evidence required such as receipts, and how claims are approved and paid. A clear policy saves awkward conversations and keeps your records tidy for the year end. Fill the highlighted boxes in the document control panel, then adjust the wording to match what your business actually reimburses. It is a starting point rather than legal or tax advice, so review it before you adopt it. Free to download in editable Word and read-only PDF.
