I've only been contacting for a year or so and going through an umbrella. I've been submitting a daily allowance for subsistence @ £9.89 per day without receipts as advised. The problem is my payroll number has been singled out for inspection by the tax man. I have no receipts. Has anyone else had this?

There's no such thing as 'allowances' only receipted expenses. Your umbrella co may have an agreement that they don't need to hold the receipts but that doesn't mean you don't have to have them.

His mum could make him sandwiches and legitimately charge him £9.89 per day. He can ask his mum for receipts.Originally posted by Alf W View Post

The umbrella company I appointed advised me to claim the full daily subsistence allowance without receipts. I am trying to arrange a meeting with the MD of the umbrella company to discuss this.Comment

So what you are saying is you're a filthy tax dodger.
I know it might seem a little leftfield to some but I claim for expenses I've actually incurred, kept me out of prison.

I think you'll find a vast majority of IT contractors claim legitimate expenses as ultimately the buck stops with the claimant not the advisor.Originally posted by TheDragon View PostYep, like most IT contractors. However, this one is in the hands of the brolly not me.
Why do people come into contracting thinking it's a big fiddle? It must be the small pond permy mentality that can't grasp a different way of working.Science isn't about why, it's about why not.
