Remember that there's a specific provision (5%) for expenses within the IR35 deemed payment calculation. However, I'd be careful about conflating the rules underlying these proposals, as currently suggested, with those surrounding IR35. While D&C (and hence SD&C) is one component of IR35, it remains only one component, and it's only necessary to demonstrate one of the pillars to avoid a contract being caught by IR35. In short, the interaction between these two things could be, er, "interesting". It's as if a completely new corporate structure is needed to help clarify all this and provide some employee-style benefits to make everything right.

To take a couple of recent years of my own: I worked north of Leeds, then in Cambridge, then in the East Midlands, then in London, then in a different part of the East Midlands, then in Cambridge again, then London again; and during that time I was approached about gigs in Manchester, Bristol, Reading, and other places I've forgotten about. Am I supposed to move home, lock, stock, horse and carriage every time?Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI think we have to be careful with our arguments here. You can have paid holidays, gym memberships etc.. It's just your company does not want to provide it as a benefit. Companies pay things to employees to keep them happy, not to affect their tax positions. I think a couple of comments might be forgetting this distinction so muddying the waters.Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

Then of course in an internet age, journalists start investigating individual MPs expenses and this whole circus kicked off
Looking at what they do, they should be able to claim home to work travel, they have a job outside any normal remit
The problem is expenses have been used as an alternative for pay rises, rather than their right to claim expensesSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
