Originally posted by scsrowe View PostYes, paid to travel from the company offices in London to Newcastle - ironically to work within HMRC! He had to stay in a hotel there, and they gave him an allowance to use for food. He also used data on his phone to be able to work on the train.Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment

He would start his week on Monday morning at the Management Consultancy office in London, then travel together with colleagues to Newcastle, stay there in a hotel until Friday morning and then work Friday morning at HMRC before travelling back to London office on a Friday afternoon.
Effectively he has been double taxed - He has had to pay his travel and hotel accomodation at the request of the consultancy company and then reclaim them back through Liberty Bishop. He has used his own money which he earned from another job and was taxed on when he was paid it - and now he's been taxed again on the same money just for carrying out work related duties!
My husband claims similar expenses through his job (consultancy company but employed rather than contracted) and has never been taxed on them. I've claimed back expenses in my own job and never been taxed on them. So why would he through an Umbrella company?
Completely unfair! Why would anyone want to work as a contractor under an umbrella company?!Comment

Originally posted by Mordac View PostYou really haven't been paying attention, have you. The umbrella aspect is completely irrelevant. The rules regarding travel expenses apply universally, which is why our rates will be adjusted upwards to meet the true cost of being in business.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
