Hi guys,

I've just started my new job and as it is with Parasol for the Umbrella company, I am claiming through them my travel and food costs.

For the month I had to buy a underground monthly at £57 and an overground rail monthly at £187.
So in total around £144 excluding eating costs and length of hours a day.

Today I have met a collegue who is driving to work from near my area.
Should I get a refund on my monthlys and travel with him, or/but then how will I be able to claim travel allowance?

Also can I claim back through tax any other costs?

Cheers!
