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?
Gosh, the wrath.

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.
To be fair, that was the era from which I was dimly recollecting.
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;
Totally out of date...

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.
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%.
Oh crap!

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.
