Hi, I opted into a ss scheme at work for car parking a few years ago. Since then premises have moved and it's not convenient to park anymore at the allocated carpark for which an amount is directly deducted from my salary each month.
Recently, I have managed to either get a lift to new premises location or use the bus which is more convenient than the allocated parking.
I contacted HR to stop my deductions after reading Inland Revenue guidedance notes, which says the rules are down to my employer and they can agree to stop them at there discretion at any time only if I fitted certain criteria. I was emailed to say that my situation did'nt fit the criteria and would have to wait until the end of the financial year therefore would have to carry on paying every month until next April.
This was never made clear to me when I agreed to the scheme, that I could only opt out once a year. ( also I did'nt sign anything) and annoyingly if the premises had not moved there would not have been a problem.
So even though I don't actually use the car park, I still have to still pay for parking. Is there anything I can do about this. Any advice.
