Reimbursed Expenses

A P87 form is the document for an Umbrella Employee to use to claim tax relief for expenses of employment.

Because you are essentially an employee, the rules for claiming expenses against your employment income are very strict.

On the whole, no. If you work under an umbrella company, HMRC will deem you to be a permanent employee and therefore can’t claim back costs such as travel and subsistence which are part of your regular commute to a permanent place of work.
