Ryanair food & inland revenue survey results
 

Some time ago the inland revenue did a survey on meal allowances in Ryanair for flight crew and a few bases took part in this where they were given an allowance of something like €33? per day to cover there food and drinks onboard in order to get an idea of what we could claim off out tax bill at the end of the year

does anyone know the outcome of this as I have heard nothing and am currently doing my tax bill for the 2009/2010 financial year and am wondering if I can claim a set figure for my working days or if I will be better just pulling out all the receipts from M&S simply food.

Don't know if it helps - but in BizAv, per-diems of 70, 80 and 100 euros per day are not unheard of and are accepted by HMRC.

food bills will be the last of your worries, when they take into account IR35.

Just did a bit of google research on IR35, all seems to make sense, in the fact once again that BRK contracts are about as legal as surprise sex.

But for now thats for the accountant to advice me on and battle it out with the inland revenue should they decide.

back too topic, anyone have any info on the original post? even just the daily amount that FR were trying to get people to spend.

Unless there is an agreement, you should just go with what the receipts say as the more aggressive you are, the more they are.

PS any "battling it" out by your tax adviser will be at your expense, unless you can get a formal opinion from them now stating that they consider the BRK agreement falls outside IR35.

Sorry, I don't have an exact amount but I got an advice book from BALPA that states anything bought from 1 hour before a duty and through out the day can be counted. There was no limit specified!
