    I don't think it is when you read some of the above links (e.g. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/eim32525.htm). The fact that some put this through probably means they just haven't been caught.

      Why do you care - you're a permie.

        Because I was planning to quit my permie role and go back to Uni, but do some contracting on the side.

        Because it's in the tax year, I was wondering if I could claim against my Self Assessment for this year, or whether if I had a new Ltd company up, I could do it as an expense.

                  If they are proprietors of their company they do incur a BIK.

                    To MSBob. Permie training is considered an investment to the company as the permies are assets of the company not just a tax breaks. You are letting the tax tail wag the dog thinking like that.
