For me to advise would be wrong. For people to be aware - is better. IF you are going on away jobs.. think about what you are getting for accomodation (how much does it cost.. and put aside a 20% - the worst that happens is you are ready... the best is you have a nest egg) If the company is an RAO, get them to talk to the IFA... Kate Geary is dealing with this. (one hard working person!)
So say accomodation is being given at 60 quid a week... for example... then keep 12 quid back - the company should also be aware - just in case. Currently I have passed all the info to the IFA.. to ensure that there is no 'confusion' of purpose. It turns out that I did quite well... but used logic and common sense as well as knowledge of how it works for us... and there is still the foot in the door, that this is a (to quote the Inland Revenue) 'a universal custom for accomodation on such employement... and it can be demonstrated statistically and seen as universally known'
This is ongoing, and the IFA have agreed to keep me informed... though I am sure you understand that this is such a delicate matter, that too much info may be worse than nothing at all. I promise to let people know everything that I can.
but...
A) be aware
B) let the company know
C) know that the IFA are working on this.
