Subsistence allowances can be paid to cover the expenses of unpaid visiting foreign academics where the individual performs no paid duties for the University.
| For periods up to 1 month | A daily rate of £50 can be paid |
| For periods of over 1 month but less than 4 months | An allowance can be paid of up to a maximum of £1200 per month |
Payments in line with the above do not need to be reported to the Payroll Team. Departments wanting to pay the higher sum or to pay for a longer period must contact the Tax Team prior to the visit for further advice.
