As an employee of an airline who is about to be audited, am I legally obliged to provide the IR any receipts?
Surely it is my human right to spend my allowances how and when I wish and not disclose to the Government where I eat and if I opt for the lunchtime special or go a la carte? I could choose to eat out at the finest restaurants or stay in my room and survive on chewing gum and tap water and pocket the allowance but that's my choice.
Hardly a state secret I think and isn't it the responsibility of my Union/Employer to definite what is a 'reasonable' allowance?
So if I am asked, I am going to refuse. And I advise you all to do likewise.
Talking about double standards, can I ask the IR to provide me with a reason why they outsourced their office portfolio to a company based in an offshore tax haven? Surely some mistake?
