Simulate the first class experience by booking the quiet carriage with a table seat and bring your own sandwich.

HTH

And lose some weight (and hope the person next to you does the same) so that you can fit comfortably in the seat. And some height as well if you want to stretch your legs out. And hope you don't need to charge anything from the one plug between four of you.

And a sandwich is hardly a substitute for a freshly cooked full English breakfast.

Being able to travel 1st class would be a pretty big factor for me if a potential contract involved commuting via train.

You should move house!

Nah, clients should move closer to me

14/15 tax year I claim about £8200 pounds on mileage, 20% is significant

So it does. It also states on the HMRC website it is now a 'closed consultation'.

Linky 11th one down.

Page 24 of the document has the time lines. They have Kept it quiet and seems to have been quite a speedy process.

Just waiting for the consultation outcome. I wonder how many umbrellas managed to get a response in?

You're quite right - they obviously decided to just push on then I think there were responses from the majority of brollies - case of watch this space now then

IPSE doing anything about this?

Yes - if you have a look in the forums, you'll see what they are doing.

[eek]

Offering insurance and sympathy I guess.

Probably trying to work out how to complain about it. Remember this is an attack on umbrellas (for reasons outside the IT industry) and doesn't directly impact people who use companies. Otherwise it hurts consultancies in ways they won't accept....

Mine would be about £250 cattle class if I didn't travel off peak, business class would be more like £450

Travel costs vary wildy for us I'd imagine

[Jeebo72]

i got something wrong there...

the £50 was the Tax element... so £250 a day in expenses. (assuming its 20% tax loss)
£10 on food, £240 on commuting... Own up, who's travelling business class to work

Me.

[Eirikur]

...and you still have to pay it. It's only the CT payable that you save on.

I went to London in Standard Class once - oof, won't fall for that again. Not the way to start a day.
