The survey on the HMRC Consultation regarding Travel Expenses is up

[eek]

Whats the connection between filling in various surveys and responding in person?

I filled in yours, I filled in AUACE's and I filled in ipse's. That doesn't stop me from taking further action does it? If it does then kudos on saving someone having to deliver 200 letters yourself.

not at all. The problem is that I think many people will leave they response as writing to IPSE and not do anything else and I feel an actual response would be worthwhile.

On the other hand seeing how badly written some of the responses by contractors have been to other surveys its probably best that they aren't replying directly and IPSE can apply a sanity check...

As the HMRC is legally obliged to tax us all equally then if it wishes to implement these rules they must equally be applied to all civil servants not working at their base offices and to all management consultants again not working at the base offices.

Oddly in some countries they do that.

Regardless of who you are working for if your expenses are paid for by your employer you have a flat tax applied to them.

Which is a shame is that means that 2,500 potential letters will now not be sent and 1 consolidated response will be ignored in its place.

2,500 responses would have got a far better reaction....

I fear the majority would have been blissfully ignorant, so would not have even known to send a letter!

Thank you, Eek!

[eek]

Just hit 200 responses.

Thank you to everyone who has responded so far and if you haven't please do - every response really will matter...

I've completed all three I hope everyone else is going to do the same, the least we can do is shed some on light on how much of impact these proposals will have.
