I help out with Cadets, and often go away for annual camp / weekends / courses etc. As part of this I have a TA commission, and whilst I dont do it for the money, I am paid a couple of quid by the MoD through the PAYE system for some of the activities.

Someone mentioned that I may be able to claim tax releif on some of my expenses (first aid kit, beers in the mess, sun cream etc). I hadn't considered it before, and TBH it would only be a couple of quid so not worth the effort, but out of curiosity I googled it and couldnt find the awnser. Does anyone on PH know? Sounds like the ki d of thing they would pick up on a SA tax return!

P.S. not trying to be tight, just curious!

Are you obliged by the terms and conditions of your employment of the TA to purchase those items out of your own pocket?
