I have worked for a few agencies last tax year and they use payroll companies. This means every week I pay approx £22 to them for processing my wages.
The company you use is usually decided by the agency you work for. One company I have used deducts the admin fee after tax is deducted. The others deduct the admin fee from my pay then tax the remainder.
One speaking to one of the women at one of the payroll companies, she said that fee is not something I could claim back because it was taken before I was taxed. Something just doesnt seem right about this. Can I not claim this expense back? Should they be taking money from me before ive been taxed? Any one can shed some light on this matter be real help, thanks.
While Im here is there any where I can find a list of things I can claim back for. I am an electrician. For example Im talking about lunch per day or a certain amount for house bills being my place of work. If so how much and do I need reciepts?
