Pastor Mileage Claims Expand

Download Pastor Mileage Claim

  1. Pastors automatically receive payment for the first 3500 kilometres of church-related travel per calendar year @ 73c/km built into the salary structure.
  2. If total church-related travel exceeds 3500 kilometres, then pastors may claim for reimbursement of the extra @ 27c/km using the Pastors Travel Claim Form. The claim can be submitted to:
    • (a) the parish, for parish-related travel, or
    • (b) the LCNZ, for LCNZ business-related travel* (*e.g. Church Workers Conference, attendance at Council of Synod or FAC committee etc).
  3. If a pastor is uncertain as to whether or not they will exceed 3500 kilometres for church-related travel, they should hold back any claim until there is more certainty and submit this when they can show they have exceeded the 3500-kilometre threshold.
  4. If a pastor travels for LCNZ business*, but their total annual church-related travel km are less than 3500 kilometres, then there is no additional payment due to the pastor for this travel. Instead:
    • (a) congregations may at their discretion choose to seek reimbursement of these LCNZ business* kilometres from the LCNZ @ 73c/km using the LCNZ travel claim form.
    • (b) any reimbursements back to congregations under 4 (a) will be refundable to the LCNZ should it be found that pastors did exceed 3500 kilometres. This is because the claim amount and claimant should have been as per point 2 above. The pastor shall then be entitled to these kilometres @ 27c instead.
