Working for minus £400 in March

Show me a post from "ages ago" that says that umbrella companies will not be able to repay valid expenses that were incurred before the rule change, if that repayment takes place after April 5th. The first I read about it anywhere was when Lucy posted having received guidance from HMRC this week.

What was he expecting to do post April 5th?

Also he does get the money back for March via self assessment.

Also, if you pay £250 for a holiday that's not really a tax expenditure as shown in the OP ?

Boo

That's deduction from umbrella company his holiday was somewhat more expenses

Indeed umbrella told people on the 5th of April - even a few days earlier and contractors could have been paid expenses by asking for faster payments from agents

Perhaps the friend thinks the Umbrella would have paid the expenses without deductions.

Or perhaps if, after deductions, he was left with £400 for 10 days work that would have been quite all right.

Yes that's how it's worked till now, no tax on expenses and get paid net

Sir his salary would have been £4.6K

I hope you keep as close a tab on your own affairs, as you do your "friends"

I don't know what he would do post April 5th, I don't know who he is - but if you can find a post that supports cojak's one that we knew ages ago that this would happen and genuine expenses would not be claimable but would have to be done via self assessment, then can you stick a link in.

Ta.

Got to love the way that £2500/month travel expenses and involving aeroplanes can now be defined as "normal commuting"

In all fairness the OP's 'friend' slums it for the last leg of the journey to the Square Mile, it's made via a chauffeur driven Bentley

The definition of "normal commuting" has nothing to do with the distance or cost of the journey and everything to do with the nature and purpose of the travel.

Indeed. That was part of the argument we put forward as part of the consultations I believe.
