Further reported spending

As well as personal expenses, there are some types of candidate spending that must be reported, but which do not count towards your spending limit. These are:

  • reasonable security costs1
  • reasonable costs for translation to languages other than English2
  • disability-related costs that are paid by the agent rather than the candidate3
  • personal expenses that are paid by the agent rather than the candidate4

These costs must be reported as payments made by the agent, including any invoices for payments of over £20.5

There is a separate section of the return to report this spending in.
