Contractors or Freelancers Relocation to the UK
Claim back up to 40% of your UK flight
How does it work?
Freelance or contract workers in the UK, can claim work related expenses against their tax through 1st Contact's Umbrella Payroll service.
These can include the cost of your flight to the UK plus any shipping costs. You can also fast track your National Insurance Number.
What is the benefit for me?
Any expense that you claim reduces the amount of income that you have to pay Tax on.
For example if you earn £1000 and have expenses of £200, you will only pay tax on the balance of £800. In real terms you can claim back up to 40% of the cost of your flight once you start working in the UK. See below for example of various flight expense claims.
