i got something wrong there...

the £50 was the Tax element... so £250 a day in expenses. (assuming its 20% tax loss)
£10 on food, £240 on commuting... Own up, who's travelling business class to work

Me.

[MicrosoftBob]

Mine would be about £250 cattle class if I didn't travel off peak, business class would be more like £450

Travel costs vary wildy for us I'd imagine

Probably trying to work out how to complain about it. Remember this is an attack on umbrellas (for reasons outside the IT industry) and doesn't directly impact people who use companies. Otherwise it hurts consultancies in ways they won't accept....

Yes - if you have a look in the forums, you'll see what they are doing.

So it does. It also states on the HMRC website it is now a 'closed consultation'.

Linky 11th one down.

Page 24 of the document has the time lines. They have Kept it quiet and seems to have been quite a speedy process.

Just waiting for the consultation outcome. I wonder how many umbrellas managed to get a response in?

You're quite right - they obviously decided to just push on then I think there were responses from the majority of brollies - case of watch this space now then

Being able to travel 1st class would be a pretty big factor for me if a potential contract involved commuting via train.
