Are contractor expenses taxable professional#

In a nutshell, no “compliant” umbrella company is able to process non-chargeable expenses for tax relief purposes. This brings tax treatment of contractors in line with those of permanent employees, who are unable to claim the costs of ordinary commuting or meals purchased while at work as an expense on their tax returns. The test applied to determine if this was the case was that of supervision, direction and control (SDC).

However, effective as of that date, HMRC legislation came into effect restricting the claiming of these expenses for any contractor deemed to be operating in a manner analogous to that of a permanent, full-time employee. By far the most popular expenses were travel and daily meals (these were known as subsistence expenses). Prior to April 2016, it was possible for Umbrella employees to utilise a wide variety of expenses to reduce their tax bill. Restrictions on Umbrella employee expenses
