I've been contracting in UK since September 2009 and I am using Giant as umbrella company. I've asked Giant whether I need to complete tax return, but they directed me to check HMRC. I've checked HMRC web pages and I am still not sure whether I should complete tax return or not.
I know that I do not have to complete tax return as giant is paying TAX and NI through PAYE, but I claim accommodation expenses all the time due to temporary place of living, so my expenses exceeds limit (check quote from HMRC page below) of £2500 per year.
This is from HRMC page:
"Do you need to complete a tax return?
You need to claim certain expenses or reliefs
If you're employed and want to claim for expenses or professional subscriptions of £2,500 or more, you'll need to complete a tax return."
In my understanding Giant has Dispensation Agreement with HMRC and they have to report all expenses to HMRC, so do I have to report them also in my tax return, because my expenses exceeds limit? Can someone confirm if I understood this correctly?
