The IR are currently 'investigating' our airline and have requested receipts for our expenses, but over a ludicrously short period, during which we were incredibly disrupted, so keeping receipts and going out for meals was the last thing on most peoples mind.
No-one ever said the revenue had to be fair though!
I understand that under That evil, evil man in no11 and now no10, the revenune have been tasked with stealing as much cash as possilbe from us all, but this one i cannot understand, as the net effect to the revenue is not likely to change that much - either they give us a blanket tax free amount for allowances or they deal with 10,000 tax returns at the end of the year, and give us a tax rebate then. I thought the whole point of the current agreement was to reach a pragmatic arrangement to save everyone the aggro.
Of course it could also be a piece of lefty bullpoo - why should we get allowances when all the teachers, civil servants, mp's, police etc don't? oh wait, they do -they all get huge tax free benefits in kind.
Now I'm confused!
