DW works in education and recently went away for a training course. She amassed around £300 expenses and was then reimbursed during the next months payday. Thing is the £300 was lumped on to her monthly salary and she subsequently paid tax/NI on it (confirmed this against recetn payslips).
I pointed out this isn't right. Company expenses should be reimbursed separately and she certainly shouldn't pay tax on it. She said that's always the way it's done and doesn't want to challenge it. I said if an auditor identified that in a payroll audit it would be raised as an issue. Again she has no interest in challenging it. It's BS as she's now out of pocket around £120.
Anyone else in teaching/education had a similar experience when travelling for training etc?
