Have now (Friday 11th) had long conversation with tax Office Inspector who made the final descision .. Given the implications and serious nature this has now been escalated to more senior levels.
I have put forward a straightforward case why there is always a need in specific cases, for accomodation to be provided (not as a perk - but as a nesssesity) Given that you may already have a house/flat rent/mortgage and that you are often required to work overtime / weekends.. etc etc.
I have asked for as quick a response as possible... but it could take up to 2 weeks... I have done all I can, and would ask people to hold on...
If the worst happens, we can appeal AND look at ways to minimise the tax payments and how they are colelcted. - but this is not over by a long way.
The Senior Tax Officials will also come back with information on how they will be dealing with all other units. The auditors of the original contractors may have inadvertantly caused some serious angst.
