On 21 July 2008, the government launched a consultation on tax avoidance involving tax relief obtained for travel expenses claimed under the temporary workplace rules.
The government is currently considering options to tackle avoidance, including:
1. Provisions to make certain third parties (such as workers and end clients) liable for avoided tax.
2. Restrictions so that workers using such structures are not entitled to tax relief.
