Are you going to set up a survey for this?
I'm worried about having my words twisted.
The issue with lunch time expenses cones down to whether the work place entails an over night stay.
In other words I don't bother to claim if I can bring in my own lunch but if I can't because I'm staying away then I claim."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JR -
Don't know - I've got to read it first My working hours are currently being spent putting together the IR35 consultation response.
Lunch has always been a bit of an issue - my thought has always been that it shouldn't be allowable under any circumstances. There is no real additional significant cost between making a sandwich and buying a sandwich; an evening meal is different - if you're staying away from home, the cost difference could be quite large.Comment

I just skimmed though this. Why are they insistent on using words such as 'employee', 'employer', even in relation to the 'IT Contractor'? And I didn't see any example which related to anyone who was working as a Ltd Co, whose business operated from home (as we all do I think). Did I miss it, or have they totally missed it?Clarity is everythingComment

the first consultation was aimed at typical small LtdCo contractors ("This consultation sets out the government’s proposals for amending the rules for tax relief on travel and subsistence for those working through employment intermediaries.)
the "IT contractor" they describe sounds like BigCo employee (eg accenture) who is contracted out to clientsComment
