eExpenses is being introduced for use by all staff and students with a Single Sign-on (SSO) user ID across the University’s academic divisions, GLAM, Continuing Education and UAS. In addition, it will be used by Kellogg College, St Cross College and Reuben College.

The first phase of the project does not include people external to the University, for example, visitors, research participants, volunteers, interview candidates.

Almost all expenses up to £10,000 can be claimed through eExpenses, including claims allocated to project budgets or departmental budgets, 

Exceptions that will not be covered by eExpenses are:

• Claims related to advances and subsequent reconciliation of expenditure (these will continue to be processed via the paper form)
• Some expense items that form a taxable benefit and, therefore, HMRC requires to be paid and taxed via monthly payroll

These items will not be covered by eExpenses, but will be considered for future inclusion:

• Examiner payments (for research degrees only)
• Staff without SSO, including visitors
• Corporate credit cards
• Advances by bank transfer
• Pre-paid card advances
• Advance reconciliations
• Integration with the travel supplier system
