A new schedule of allowances for magistrates (Justices of the Peace) in England and Wales, who are not paid for their absences by their employers, took effect from 1 May 2010. However, the financial loss allowances are unchanged from those that took effect from 1 May 2009.
| Self-employed Magistrates | Employed Magistrates | |||
| to 30/4/10 | from 1/5/10 | to 30/4/10 | from 1/5/10 | |
| Half-day (up to 4 hours) | 58.29 | 58.29 | £46.63 | £46.63 |
| Full-day (over 4 hours) | £116.58 | £116.58 | £93.27 | £93.27 |
The rates for employed magistrates are set at 80% of the self-employed rates in order to reflect the 20% basic rate of tax. Magistrates are also entitled to claim travelling and subsistence allowances.
