Historically, HM Revenue & Customs have accepted that flight crews were entitled to tax relief for subsistence expenses incurred whilst travelling and as a result a proportion of payments in the form of FDA’s had been paid free of tax, with the balance subject to PAYE/NIC.
More recently these type of arrangements have been reviewed with the result of a reduced amount paid free of tax or indeed a reduced FDA payment.
We can check whether you are entitled to further tax relief by comparing what we have agreed with the Revenue against your current tax free FDA/sector pay. If you don’t receive any tax free payment, then the tax relief available can be substantial.
