This taxi ride may be substatiated by the associated claim. If subsistence, even at day rates, has been claimed then you can validate the claim for the associated travel. Of course if MT was provided to the departure point then there would be evidence available to the Revenue and Customs with which to prosecute should it get that far.
you have a cast iron case backed up by a paper trail.
but you would be surprised how easy it is possible to gather the evidence - the certificate for your resettlement training - minutes from the meeting - the course record from your record of service. Then, depending on your unit, its official history even.
