Expenses for nights on Agency work

mac12:
tax office has just called me and said i cannot claim mileage while working for agency,think i may send form p87 in anyway and see what happens

mac.
When I called HMRC , they said that I could, when I explained what work I did.
Do you work (through your agency) for one, or a variety of companies - i.e 1 week with lets say Tesco the next with Asda , then 2 days with bloggs transport then 3 days with smith freight etc.etc. If its the latter then you are entitled.
Go to the HMRC.gov.uk website, search for “forms” then put in P87, follow the links, it explains everything, the mileage rate, claiming for PPE, food allowance. Worth a try.
