Are you on Pay-As-You-Earn
(P.A.Y.E.) Tax?
We specialise in PAYE tax refunds for permanent employees who
drive their own vehicles to and from the temporary workplaces
they visit.
From 6th April 1998 the Inland Revenue introduced a new scheme
which enables permanent, site-based employees on PAYE to claim
tax relief on travelling to and from a temporary place of work.
A temporary place of work is defined as a workplace where an
employee is expected to, or has spent less then 24 months. This
means that the employee does not have an ordinary commuting journey,
so they are entitled to tax relief for the cost of all journeys
from home to site and, if living away from home, from lodge to
site.
Site-based employees who live away from home are also entitled
to claim tax relief for any subsistence expenses which are not
reimbursed by the employer. This includes meals and accommodation.
