    this is where my confusion may come in I think I assumed that the main contractor would be claiming for this through his tax allowance

      With the last umbrella I only claimed for evening meals and Mileage and provided receipts I didn't claim the £10 a day substance because their is no canteen on site that you cant buy meals from but their is cooking facility's for the men to use so he buys bread milk tea bags pies ect for day time from the supermarket

      I didn't claim lodge because I thought you couldn't claim tax back from an allowance that was not subject to tax and no one told me different or ask for receipts for lodge

      Many thanks for your help
      In all seriousness - if your umbrella company can't give you an explanation of your payslip that you can fully understand, you need a new umbrella company.

          when I received his payslip last week I phoned the agency sent them a copy of the payslip told them it wasn't good enough just to put total hours worked and it did not state his hourly rate and what hours were paid at normal rate time and a half and double time this has now been changed its was just the non-taxable lodge I couldn't understand because it isn't part of his wages I expected to treated as a separate

          ive got a better understanding of it now thanks to this site thank you both for replying

            Has the umbrella confirmed that the lodge payment is non-taxable??
