Crossrail transition

2017, D A Stocks remarked: As a much travelled businessman (in general terms) I can assure you that the lack of a paper receipt/ticket to attach to my expenses claim is a huge disadvantage. Other systems solve this problem easily, as you've been told before. NS's system for Chipkaart produces a very nice online expenses claim receipt (which is specifically valid for Dutch tax purposes in the case of nominal/registered cards,) which is far more convenient than toting around bits of paper - the same can be done for contactless cards. I understand you can register your favourite card with TfL for this very purpose, but I haven't had to claim for travel in London yet. Since I live outside London I would probably buy a paper ticket and claim against that. For NS I just claim for the top-up - I'm liable for Dutch tax, but it's all handled by my employer via a UK/Dutch tax equalisation process that doesn't seem to take account of expenses. See my comments about "dispensations". Having had a Dutch client they clearly have the same scheme, all the way down to duplicating their tax office's maximum allowable expenses in various territories as the client's own allowances. So I topped up my Chipkaart with around EUR 120 yesterday morning, scanned the (paper) receipt into the expenses system this morning, and it was approved this afternoon - this is (mostly) for journys I havn't made yet. If I forget to get a receipt I can evidence the purchase via the Chipkaart website, but I still claim against the top-up purchase rather than individual journeys. -- Roland Perry |
