Expenses!

[Bones]

Has anyone got any experience of claiming expenses back directly from HMRC?

Am confused. Why would HMRC pay your expenses??

If they are your client and you've got it in your contract with them then of course you can claim expenses.

I guess because he forgot to claim them.

I suppose you may be able to get some of them by correcting your tax return but I doubt it.

(As an aside why are this sites newcomers becoming stupider?)

Thanks eek your not jumping to any conclusions there are you!!

OK poor choice of word I assumed too much.

I should have said expenses claimed against taxable income, expenses from this tax year.

If you're just talking about motoring expenses and things like hotel bills, your accountant should be able to guide you. It's fairly straightforward.

You may be able to claim them on your self assessment. Engage an accountant to review your case for you. There are some really helpful ones who post here.

Bearings mind the total lack of clarity and information in your question and the fact you haven't posted it in the umbrella section I can't help but think this isn't just the umbrellas fault alone.

As an umbrella employee I dont fill in self assessments.

Having payed a umbrella company to take care of all accountancy and taxation matters, I should engage an accountant?
