I read with interest the thread on the BALPA negotiated National Flat Rate Expense (FRE). Whilst I have managed to get my tax code amended the 'technician' who dealt with my request for back dating the claim has asked for receipts. Bit of a problem as the availability of the FRE was only just brought to my attention a few months ago so I have never kept any receipts for anything connected with work. Has anyone else come up against this sort of request? I gave the details to a work colleague who has had his tax code amended and been given a back dated claim without any hassle (or receipts!). Is it just a case of submitting it again in the hope that I get someone in a better mood dealing with it?
As one of their own documents says, if it's not been available until now don't expect receipts to be available.
