Working methods are used in the construction industry and in similar fields. These are national agreements between unions and employers across the country that set out the conditions that apply to certain categories of hourly workers. The employees concerned are generally those whose work takes place in different locations and not on the employer`s premises. The agreements provide details of what workers have to pay in terms of daily travel and subsistence, housing allowances, etc., and give workers certainty of what to expect from their employers. However, in the absence of further guidance from HMRC, the tax situation of the amounts covered by the agreements would remain uncertain. Indeed, the rules for deductibility of travel and residence allowances vary depending on how long the employee works in a particular place and whether HMRC explains this to EIM 50605ff. how certain building and civil engineering employees can receive travel and accommodation allowances under the Work Rules Agreements without deducting taxes under paye. Regular working arrangements are established between employers` associations and trade unions, which define the working conditions of many workers in construction and related sectors. Employees often do not have qualified dependents (see EIM71308 for a definition of dependents) and therefore cannot complete the application form. However, these persons may still be eligible for tax allowances under additional procedures (see EIM71310). If an employer is not in possession of a completed application form, he must tax all assistance allowances paid under a standard employment contract, unless the procedures described on this page apply. Completed forms should be retained by employers for production in any future compliance reviews.
The agreement provides for different quotas for each kilometre between 15 and 75, but this table only shows the fare paid at intervals of 5 km. You can question an allowance paid for a distance between the 5 km intervals if it is not between the upper and lower limits for the respective 5 km band. Housing allowances (sometimes referred to as housing, accommodation or residence allowances) under company agreements are only exempt from tax if the employee has completed an application form. The form certifies that, although it incurs additional costs for accommodation, it is also responsible for the accommodation of dependents in their place of permanent residence. Under some agreements, the Clerk must also have been hired according to an approved procedure (see EIM50625).
