Fairer Tax Relief Campaign – Details of proposed tax relief
Tax relief would be based upon distances travelled, with levels of relief perhaps increasing the greater the distance. Evidence would be A to B distance travelled, perhaps no relief for short distances, e.g. less than 5 miles.
Reliefs should be limited to assignments for a maximum period that is less than the current two years. Suggestion is 6 months to one year.
No relief should be allowed for lunch cost as cost is incurred whether at home or regular place of work or temporary place of work. There could be some exception to this rule for example where lunch subsistence is sought following an overnight stay, namely where the argument that the worker could not prepare a lunch pack from home is regarded as important.
The above rule on lunch subsistence could also apply to all regular employees so saving the Exchequer significant sums currently allowed for that relief.
