Business costs (IPSA)

£196,648.00 paid out to or for Mike Tapp across 56 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. 2 claims on file weren’t paid out (rejected, withdrawn, or otherwise not approved). This does not include Mike Tapp’s permanent staff’s salaries — typically the biggest single share of an MP’s real costs — which IPSA only publishes once a year, after the year closes, as one aggregate figure, never as individual claims. Some categories (especially travel) are reported by IPSA as one whole-year total rather than itemised by date — marked “Aggregated” below. See MP expenses to filter this to a single year.
