We're in the process of moving quite a distance away from work, with the understanding that I can work from home 3 or 4 days/week and be in the office for the remaining 1/2.
Now I'm in the process of wangling a pay-rise too, but I'm wondering if I can convert that pay rise into the company paying my travel expenses. Looking at the Inland Revenue site, its being cagey about how the tax siutation works. I would claim that my "main place of work" becomes my home, as it's where I spend most of my time, and the office is then a "temporary place of work", so I can just claim my travel expenses back (and the company saves a bit of cash as it doens't have to pay NI on the extra wages). But it doesn't seem to be quite so clear cut as that...? The time spent "in the office" will also include site meetings and work at other locations.
So how are you guys doing it? Is there a nice little work around hiding anywhere?
Cheers,
Jon
