Gosh, the wrath.

An ex of mine was working in Amsterdam back in roughly 2003. She was via a brolly. This was, repeat: Was, how it worked then. My knowledge, and memory, was of her relating this to me.

I should have considered the possibility of a change in laws and/or my recollection in the interim 16 years before deigning to comment. My mistake.

Now everyone, how about cocktails at mine!

Sure bring your ex from Amsterdam - I remember where she put that brolly for £50 it made my eyes water

recollecting what?
You said you'd never done it before, so you must recollect something that you guessed?

Well done, we are all exceedingly proud of you.

[GhostofTarbera]

He admitted it. Thus, you were in fact wrong. Will you say so?

"Man up man and withdraw"

I was indeed wrong, simes has admitted he was completely clueless.

I withdraw my comment on saying simes would not man up

I get the feeling Simes will never admit to bring clueless or wrong - and start pulling other wrong peoples posts

Oh crap!

Someone please delete all I've said here. What an unfortunate crock.

Sorry.

I seem to have had memories of previous brolly law. Quoting from a Travel thread, ladymuck says;

Man up man and withdraw

If I’m wrong I say so, man up

To be fair, that was the era from which I was dimly recollecting.

My experience was in 2005 when it was all just fields. That was in response to someone wanting to understand how expenses would work in a brolly example, and I responded by saying it was shown as an in and out transaction. Considering how badly I described it, I'm surprised anyone took any notice at all.

Not a chance.

Fair play. I'll take this one on the chin.

I thought that parking provided by employers isn't a BIK.

OP's employer is their umbrella. They aren't providing parking for the OP. OP is paying out of their own pocket to pay at the end client's site. It's not the same thing.

A better analogy would be an employee whose employer does not provide any parking so they have to pay to park in a private car park near their office each day. This would not be a tax-deductible expense either.

While you are at it could you delete the other 574 load of old crock as well please.

You are completely wrong. The 5% applies only if you have an inside IR35 contract with the private sector and operate via your own limited company. The limited company (until April 2020) can deduct travel and subsistence expenses, and 5% of the remainder before calculating the NI due for that caught contract.

If you go through a brolly there is no 5%.

When I last used an umbrella, I would fill in an expenses sheet with receipts and that would be shown on my payslip as an in and out transaction but they would be pre-tax deduction, post-tax addition (or some such, the terminology escapes me). So, you would effectively not have any extra cash in your pocket but you didn't pay tax on that portion of your day rate.

Anyway, subsequent to GoT being added to the Ignore list, and subsequent to some digging.

1. If via a Brolly and Outside IR35, 5% rings true
2. If via a Brolly and Inside IR35, there are no Expenses allowable, 5% or otherwise.

Pertinent to the initial post, MDavies does not tell us whether his contract is inside or outside.

Can IR35 contractors still work through a limited company? | Crunch.

Paraphrasing the bloody link and paragraphs. Read'em and let me know thoughts.
