Claim tax relief for your job expenses: Working from home - GOV.UK

Or can I when my business is based at home. Maybe?

You can claim tax relief if you have to work from home, for example because

• your employer does not have an office

Is anyone... 1. either by disclosing loans from pre-2011 removed by Morse: or
2. agreeing post-DR settlement terms with HMRC per the Loan Charge deadline of 30 September 2020?

Is anyone (group) raising any actions?

How can a former CIOT President have recommended better terms for those who didn’t settle by the deadline when he himself was recommending settlement previous to the deadline! 😠

Has NPPV changed or was this expires with the gig not really a thing and it can indeed be transferred?]]> Accounting / Legal northernladuk https://forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/151373-nppv-clearance.html https://forums.contractoruk.com/umbrella-companies/151372-asked-to-change-umbrella-mid-contract-and-payment-withholding.html Fri, 07 Aug 2026 13:00:19 GMT I opted into The Conduct of Agency Regulations 2003.

agency has told me I "have" to move umbrella company as while its on their PSA its not (or at least no longer) on the resource management firms PSA

I'm not at all keen to move umbrella (days of admin+hassle, hinders ability to get mortgage, more ID checks/data everywhere, may not pay into my SIPP etc etc )

Can this change really be forced upon me mid engagement? Perhaps I'm thinking of this wrongly but if i have an assignment with months yet to run how can the agency unilaterally break that if theres been no breach. Need this explaining in simple clear terms.

The agent told me that the resource management firm can claw back all money paid from the agency if they audit it and its been paid to a non-approved umbrella. Strikes me that maybe the agency has agreed higher and lower contracts which put it in a squeeze and they'd rather shaft me with coercion / withholding payment than risk the clawback liability on them. Dog eat dog.

do they have the right to withhold funds for approved time worked if the umbrella has not been switched?

Thank you to anyone who read my article and it seems there is so much more to this story - please get in touch with me directly if you have anything to share. I am especially interested in:

• Which company did you deal with when you first entered into the scheme and did you feel pressurised/did you understand the scheme (let me know if you did as well)

-did you pay HMRC or have any communication with them, and do you have any contact names?

If I had the opportunity to speak to W28th, what would you like me to say to the directors?

Finally, if we combined voices, would you be interested in an anonymous video call or webinar?
