HMRC make it more difficult to reimburse personal expenses to drivers
The RHA recently commented on the difficulties it faced when negotiating with HMRC over the random checking process now required in support of tax-free payments made to drivers to cover personal expenses incurred for overnight stays. The payment is designed to cover basic expenses during an overnight stay, such as evening meal, breakfast, washing facilities and upkeep of bedding in the cab.
Because the present arrangement has been operating smoothly for 26 years, many business owners are confused by this change and annoyed by the extra bureaucracy.
