Opps I thrown away my old receipts now umbrella company want
Discussion
Hi I wonder if someone could give me some advice..
Last year well up to the 30th Dec anyway anyway I was working for an umbrella company for 3 months which would pay me a wage and I could claim for tax relief for my meals due to me working long hours etc and kept receipts..
The problem I've got is when I was made unemployed I decided to have an early spring clean around the house and have thrown my receipts away and the dustman has already been and now the the umbrella company want a few receipts dated from early November for part of an Audit which I no longer have.
Also I have to find my petrol receipt for that week the only problem is I would fill my cars tank to the max and use it over a 3 week period so wouldn't of had that on the same date plus it was all stored in the same box.
Could someone give me some advice on what I should do.

Hi Eric.
Yes it does I had to fill in a claim form online weekly as the umbrella company would know the hours I worked for them as the contractor would send them a fax of my time sheet so the umbrella company could cross reference my claims for my hours worked via the time sheet.
I was being paid a salary plus expenses as I had to work through the umbrella company as the actual contractor I worked for wouldn't let me deal direct with them this year.

This is a paragraph of the email sent.
However, in order to maintain our dispensation and remain compliant with HMRC, we are required to perform mandatory random checks. We need to ensure that our employees are keeping all supporting documentation for scale rate subsistence claims and still qualify for relief on such claims. You have been selected for a routine check of your subsistence
But apparently the company have a dispensation under HMRC P11D and I wouldn't want to get in trouble with the tax man
But I'm no longer an employee

Thanks for all the help Eric..
Yes I was claiming the 45p a mile for petrol plus I claimed for Breakfast, Lunch and evening meal depending on which shift and the amount of hours I worked etc
Also I made sure that when I put the claims in separately online that I only claimed for the allowed rate so I know that everything on my part was above board.
As for my mileage I never went over my amount as I only claimed 9.5 miles a day return which was door to door

Thanks for all the advice..
I phoned up the umbrella company and told them that I had thrown the paperwork out once the contract had finished as I didn't think it would be relevant after the contract.
I was told it would mean that it would have a fail ? by my name and if I get another contract that the HMRC would need to take a look at my records.

Cheers Eric
Without your insight I wouldn't of called their bluff.
I think your right as first of all I was told I still work for them and had to supply details...and as soon as I told them that you have it on record that my contract had finished was when it went from I had to supply details to a fail?
So hopefully I won't get the tax man knocking at my door thanks for the info.

I'm still waiting for the P45 to be received but hopefully I will receive it in the next week or so.. also in the meantime I've been down the job centre and have signed on from the 1st of the month so It should be on record that the contract has finished with the HMRC.
Also my contract end date was actually on the 12th Dec which was the official end date but was extended on a daily basis afterwards but I do have all my wage slips if the HMRC need to have look at a later date.
