HMRC TAX Claims beyond FREA

[Pizza Express]

Has anyone had any luck with HMRC in claiming tax relief for expenses not covered by the £850 FREA. I understand that BALPA/Union subs 2/3rs + £100 travel for medical + Noise Canx Head Set can be claimed. Are there any other expenses that people manage to claim for example computer/internet/Licence Renewal/Food during your normal working day. Thanks in advance.

Some of the bmi regional guys received an allowance for a computer due to our manuals and tech refresher being on cd rom.

ps If things don't improve soon, Vaseline will be a tax deductible expense :O

You cannot claim for computers unless you can prove that you need one at home;

Airline pilots: industry wide FRE for 2006/07 onwards: personal computers (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM50056.htm)

Also;

EIM36500 - Deductions from earnings: capital allowances: introduction: arrangement of guidance (http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/eimanual/EIM36500.htm)

You can, of course, not claim the FRE and claim for each item of expenditure (verified) instead.

The BAA pass does not give rights of access for anything except your rostered work. They don't roster you at base for tech refresh sim q and a's and other non operational requirements, so these need to be carried out at home.

I know 2 guys who have done it, so I will endeavour to find out more.
