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........
Thankfully it doesn't apply to me - the crowd I work for are pretty good at providing digs, transport, paying for driving and paying subsistence. Which is nice. The company that advertises charging for such things though don't have a god reputation amongst the few people I've met who've worked for them.
