The umbrella company I work through keep on sending me emails warning me that they will check my subsistence receipts in the future. However they still have not requested them. None of my colleagues have ever been asked to produce their subsistence receipts. Has anybody heard of umbrella companies asking for these receipts.

wrong section. but still some helpful advice. here you go.
You are required to store those receipts for 6 yrs by law. If there is investigation by HMRC, they will say, they had warned you from time to time. So they will be in clean.
Save those receipts, I would say, even if they never ask to see atleast for the required time period. -

Is there shame involved?Originally posted by Churchill View Post
The brollies make it clear it is our responsibility to get receipts, and only claim for things where we have receipts, and that it is our problem and not theirs if Hector comes sniffing.
That they keep their costs down by not bothering to check them, and their customer's postal costs down by not asking for them, and their customer's stress levels down by not being a pain in the arse arguing the toss over each of them, makes them sound more attractive as a brolly to me.

"Name and shame" implied they were doing something immoral or illegal. I don't think they're doing either - they were telling him why he needs to keep receipts. Although they are a bit lazy.Last edited by RichardCranium; 13 January 2011, 13:09.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

Most umbrella companies don't ask to see the receipts. The one mentioned by the OP does. I asked him to name and shame.Originally posted by RichardCranium View Post I'm sober.

When I signed up with an umbrella co they rang me up and urged me to claim my £15 a day. They seemed confused when I told them I didn't want to keep a shedload of receipts.
Do they get to claim back the VAT or something?+50 Xeno Geek Points

It's £10 a day if you stay overnight, isn't it? Anyway, since the money is a lump sum allowance to cover incidental low cost oddities like phone calls home, newspapers and the like, who is going to give you a receipt anyway?Originally posted by Zippy View PostBlog? What blog...?
