Basically yes, the point is that I am owed several weeks tax free!Originally posted by Sockpuppet View PostWhen you say claim do you mean....
Hotel costs £100 so you add £100 to your bill for the client.
or
Hotel costs £100 so you offset £100 against your tax bill (saving between £20-£50 depending on tax rate).
I have looked at the P87 form previously but initially moved on as its limited to £2500 and the next option is filling in a tax return at the end of the year and probably for the next three years
and maybe getting the tax relief some time next year, maybe. Not a good option. So I might go back to the P87 and limit the claim to £2500, Ive no Idea how the relief comes back or when?

And a degree of reality checking would help perhaps - you're talking about £500 that you haven't actually lost and will get interest on at above the going rate.Blog? What blog...?

Also remember that you can do your SAR now and get your tax code amended as you've over paid. That will be sent to brolly who will use it from next wage slip. Simples.Comment
