A few questions about travel and accommodation deductions.

micromidgetmonkey

Hi all, I have a few questions I'm hoping you can help me with. I work a job which involves living away for weeks at a time. Normally I provide my own accommodation but occasionally take jobs where deductions are made from our pay for travel and expenses. I'm employed directly by the companies in question on a zero hours contract. Any advice on how to mitigate the impact of these deductions would be greatly appreciated and feel free to ask for any more information.

I think you've been directed to the incorrect board. This one is for Benefits and Tax Credits.

Maybe you could try the Employment, Jobseeking and Training Board. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=141

You can directly to talk with your management and tell them the problems you suffered. And you can also request to provide you travel accommodation in good Weekly hotels and I think it's fair enough. Otherwise, you have to know about the tax deduction.
