Capped Actuals
This is No Duff.
A very reliable bloke in the pub has confirmed that as of 1 Apr all alowances will be administered as Capped Actuals.
In practice this means that down route the imprest holder will still issue an amount of money equivalent to the local rate, but you will have to provide reciepts for what you buy and pay back the change. Obviously the generosity of our lords and masters will not extend to a few beers at the end of a 16 hr day.
In other words a night stop or more practically 24 off somewhere half decent (a rarity these days I know) could be an expensive proposition. Any thoughts?
