The Financial Secretary to the Treasury (Mr David Gauke)
At Autumn Statement 2014 the Government announced that they would review the increasing use of overarching contracts of employment by employment intermediaries such as “umbrella companies”. These arrangements enable workers to obtain tax relief for home to work travel that would not ordinarily be available.
The Government are today publishing a discussion paper inviting representations from interested parties to inform potential future action on this issue. The discussion document can be found on the gov.uk website.
