UK consultants: umbrella companies and expenses

[SEFI07]

Hi all

Hoping you could provide some insight.

I’ve signed a contract for 7 months / place of work will be in Belgium.

My umbrella company has just informed that they cannot process expenses for me do to HMRC’s new rules.
This was new information to me (as I was in a permanent role before) as the last time I contracted this wasn’t an issue.

The problem is without my expenses being reimbursed by day rate is paltry. I’m due to start my contract in a few weeks.

What options do I have? How are you coping with the rule changes?

Thanks

None and people don't take roles with a lot of travel.
