    Claiming they've not give a determination and it's a blanket ban is tantamount to the same thing.

    So you are hanging all your hopes on passing SDC when you will not.

    You are asking a bunch of random contractors questions and then showing your arse when someone gives you (possibly) incorrect answer? You are gonna be popular on here.

    If you want expert opinion then **** off and ring round the brollies. Don't come on here looking for apologies from people who are trying to help you for free. Pillock

    Are you gonna apologise to us for posting this in the wrong area of the forums? Should have been in the umbrella section? No? didn't think so.

    Why should I apologise for telling you that the umbrella company is talking out of their arse based on the information I've been given directly from HMRC.

    I have my advice (from HMRC directly) you have the opinion of someone working at an umbrella.

    Now it's possible that you may be allowed to claim expenses but it's equally possible that HMRC will disallow them and seek the unpaid tax back - so I would factor that in before thinking everything is good.

    Sadly that was in a meeting with HMRC so I don't have a link to the guidance in HMRC's manual to hand.

    But given that I led the fight to stop expenses being imposed on PSCs yes I do know what I'm talking about.

    The only unknown here is how HMRC will regard expenses where blanket bans have been used.

    Ask them if that is valid after the forthcoming changes (hint as I've said in every post so far - it isn't).
