Hybrid or blended working, the new work normal, working from anywhere, flexible working; whatever the term, working from home either fully or in part, has become mainstream. The latest THE survey suggested 71% of the 5,000 respondents welcomed a blended approach and universities across the UK are planning to offer administrators ‘hybrid’ working in the next academic year. What do you need to be aware of for tax purposes?
The BUFDG 2021 tax conference will include a number of sessions on UK and international hybrid working models, setting out compliance, implications and what you need to be thinking about. On the back of this, BUFDG will be creating guidance/signposting document but we welcome your feedback on what would be useful; what examples could we include to make the guidance more practical for your institution? What should it cover – travel & subsistence, home expenses, anything else? KPMG have recently compiled some areas to review in the wake of the pandemic that give a good structure to the different issues. However, we would like your views so answers on a postcard to Julia.
