    Remember all the expenses do is allow you to take more of your 'invoice value' tax free.
    D15 - can you clarify this point for us - were your expenses for the period included on your payslip???

      I think you've misunderstood what Parasol are doing. IIRC, they exclude your expenses when calculating Employers NI. They do, of course, only pay the true Employers to HMRC but pocket the difference as additional "Employment Costs". Effectively they're creaming off the equivalent of 13.8% of the total amount of your expenses.

      Despicable!!!
