Just a quick update on this situation - we got shafted!!
Came home for the weekend to find a letter off of the inland revenue saying they were changing my tax code to take back the cost of my "benifts" from the "free" accomodation last year!
Note to companies - sort this situation out now we are already expected to put up with enuogh crap doing this job as it is. Do your jobs properly and dont pass your mistakes onto us. If you say its free accommodation we have to assume that doesnt mean we will get thousands of pounds of back tax bills - just give us a break!!
And diggers be aware - ask whether or not you will be liable for tax before you start a job and try and get this in writting.
Oh well looking how things are going prob be on the dole soon so at least can claw some of it back, and when we loose the house theyll have to pay to rehouse us! God i love archaeology
