Tool Wrote:I'd like your (as in everyone's) opinion on this: there is an archaeology contractor that advertises for temp. staff once in a while. Their rates of pay seem on a par, but they do say that although they provide transport/accommodation as appropriate, there is a charge. Now I think this is taking the piss, but what do you think?
Seems rather cheeky to ask people to pay to work away. Would it be cheaper to sort out your own accommodation/transport? Where do the contracts in question say you are being employed to work?, the site or their office?
Does seem to stray into the allowable expense/Taxable benefit confusion territory (ducks }
) though. Of course if you were self-employed both would fall into allowable expenses for yourself (if you also 'work at home') so you could claim it back against your tax........
