Payerise always takes the responsible, long term view with the safety of our contractors and agencies in mind. We are confident that our Expenses Policy is the best and safest available to UK contractors and freelancers.
UK Government crack-down
The UK Government is operating an on-going scrutiny of contractor pay and in particular, expense claims. They have indicated they will pursue any questionable expense practices, both current and past.
With the protection of contractors and agencies our number one priority, Payerise has been in communication with the relevant departments within HMRC to discuss and build an expenses policy which will benefit our clients - both contractors and agencies, whilst protecting them at the same time.
We appreciate that some other UK umbrella companies currently operate a much less stringent expenses policy in order to inflate contractor take home pay. This may seem an attractive short term option however it is likely to have serious repercussions in the long run for contractors and agencies.
Although the crack down on non-allowable expenses will not come in to force until 2009, HMRC has made it clear they will investigate retrospectively any individual or agency who, they feel, may have employed a non-compliant expense's policy in the past
