Expenses

There are 2 types of expenses which we have provided information on:

  • Client Reimbursable Expenses
    • This is where your agency or end-client has agreed to reimburse the cost of an allowable expense.  This can be paid to you with your usual pay on a tax-free basis, subject to the below requirements being met.
  • Tax Relief For Expenses Of Employment
    • This is where you are seeking to claim tax relief from HMRC for costs that you have incurred.  This can be claimed directly with HMRC by following the information below.

Client Reimbursable Expenses

Our expenses policy applies only where your agency or end-client agrees to reimburse you for expenses you incurred wholly and exclusively whilst working during an assignment for Fair Pay Services. The expenses claimed must not be claimed against any other company. 

The actual expenses that your agency or end-client may agree to reimburse you for will vary on an individual basis, therefore we we recommend that you speak with them directly to confirm this.

Please note that in any case where your agency or end-client submits a payment request for such an expense, Fair Pay Services as your employer will contact you to complete a claim.  

Please note failure to complete the claim with us may result in a delay in processing your expense for the correct pay period.
