This reads as though contractors with umbrella companies won't be able to claim travel expenses to client sites, or accommodation expenses come to that. A bit alarming if true

The whole "Dispensation" system of separate agreements between HMRC and employers is being abolished.

This COULD have an effect on many employees - irrespective as to whether they are employed by a normal employer or some sort of "umbrella company" set up.

Also, the decision in Samadia V HMRC really concentrates the mind as to how and when travel costs can be claimed for tax purposes - whether one is employed or self employed.
