    Dispensations

    So what sort of contracts do people on this board enter into?

    Dispensations

    For ordinary commuting even on a sub-24 month contract you cannot claim your travel costs, whatever your umbrella tells you. Here is HMRC's guidance. www.hmrc.gov.uk/helpsheets/490.pdf Fixed term appointments 3.18 A period of attendance at a place is not regarded as of limited duration or...

    Making use of capital gains allowance?

    If you are a contractor, there is probably little value in the 'company' for its sake. BP, for instance, is worth more than just the value of its assets; the difference is called goodwill. Your company is probably worth exactly what its bank balance is worth - unless of course you make widgets...

    Daily subsistence expenses

    I should think that you will find that your employer (NHS) was settling the NI and PAYE liability - but without having to put it on your P11D.

    Daily Subsistence

    >>Well, presumably he said that you could only claim for money you had actually spent If only! He said that sub-£5 subsistence claims were round-sum subsistence claims, and that you did not require a receipt - the £5 was an 'entitlement'. The only circumstances of which I am aware where a...

    About what?

    Daily Subsistence

    Thank you, Lisa, that is extremely helpful - and goes to show how little Parasol understand about the PAYE dispensation. I am amused that one umbrella has completely misunderstood the concept of precendent, and implies a 1975 tax case is 'outdated'. What IR35 has to do with it is anybody's...

    Parasol & lunch & travel costs

    >>T&Cs I wish! Haven't any. I am sitting here working without any form of contract. If I, as an employee, were to have a grievance procedure it would be against my employer. Parasol. Parasol have a contract to supply services to the City Company where I am working. The only grievance...

    Parasol & lunch & travel costs

    >>I'm sure that an agency wouldn't want to reresent you if you had a disciplinary, grievance or tribunal issue to fight. But my employment contract (if I had one) would be with the umbrella... so why would they represent me? Or am I missing something?

    Daily Subsistence

    Well, yes, I am looking for a reason not to use (if I don't have to) a vehicle that is widely viewed as a method of tax evasion - encouraged by the umbrella themselves.

    Parasol & lunch & travel costs

    Maybe, but I don't need an umbrella. My recruitment consultant should outsource their payroll.

    Daily Subsistence

    But Lisa... (I agree with you) but he read it over the phone to me from HMRC's letter as a daily allowance - not an overnight allowance. £5 for over 5 hours, £15 for over ten hours. Either he was making up his letter from HMRC, or it was true. He told me that different umbrella companies...

    Daily Subsistence

    Strangely enough, Ardesco, I did ask him and he said he would. But that there was no need as it was all within the law.
