The government has extended until 10 July the deadline for submissions to its call for evidence on the use of the income tax relief for employees’ business expenses. The consultation opened on 20 March and the original closing date was 12 June. The deadline has been extended owing to the announcement of the general election for 8 June.
The Treasury is particularly concerned to understand why, in recent years, there has been a marked increase in expenses which employers do not reimburse and employees then claim from HMRC, at a cost to the exchequer of around £800m per year.
The call for evidence responds to the OTS review of employee benefits and expenses, which recommended a review of the expenses system to re-establish some general principles and ensure these are in line with current employment practices.
