Train travel is an ideal means of transport in the UK and the rest of Europe. Rail travel is fast, practical and convenient in both urban and more rural areas. Railway stations often allow for car hire services if you need access to a car or perhaps need to venture to an area not accessible by train.

Rail travel is often convenient even if you have flown partway to your destination. Train travel works well for personal or corporate travel, and can be an economical way to transport staff to a conference, event venue, or meetings. It can also be a luxurious and comfortable way to transport clients quickly and efficiently. Train travel is a viable option for conferences, annual meetings and other events throughout Europe. You may be pleasantly surprised to learn that you can easily opt for rail travel to or from the UK and mainland Europe.

Booking rail travel is easy thanks to online interfaces that offer planning, scheduling and trip organisation services. Both personal and corporate travel arrangements can be made easily and practically online. Whether you need to simply book a rail ticket or opt for a full package, both can be done with little effort. Corporate travel to events including annual meetings, conferences, and other events can be planned quickly and easily. Many online trip organisers even allow you to book airline tickets, car hires, rail travel and accommodations in one step. A well planned trip can be especially important for group travel, or for corporate travel arrangements. Discount on rail fares are even available for groups of more than ten.

Eurostar services offer fast check in and a short trip between London and Paris or Brussels. Eurostar allows you to travel in high speed comfort, with champagne, drinks, and food available at your seat in Leisure Select and Business Premier Classes. Business Premier may be an ideal choice for corporate hospitality or business travel to general meetings, conferences and PR events. Business Premier offers even faster check in services as well as additional business amenities. Standard class offers affordable and practical travel between London and France. Eurotunnel can also offer those travelling by car a helpful and cost effective rail option as you simply drive your car onto the shuttle and make a short 35 minute trip via shuttle to Calais, France.

can I claim train travel to my office of work self employed?

Hi
I'm doing my tax return and I want to know if I can claim my train travel. The office where I have worked for the last 2 years made us all self employed so i'm still wrorking there but as self employed. . Can I claim my travel to that office? I'm a bit unclear on the rules

HMRC are hot on this one .. the answer is "Yes = IF you are REALLY self-employed" ..

However from what you say, if HMRC investigates your workplace they may well decide you are not really self-employed at all (to be self-employed, essentially you need to have multiple 'clients' and on defined 'contracts' = i.e. work at different places for defined periods of time..).
(you can get some idea of the HMRC's point of view from link 1)

If they discover that you are still working at the same place, they are likley to come to the conclusion that your employer is (illegally) avoiding Tax (NI).

But if you don't claim for travel, they may well decide that YOU know you are not really self employed and hit you with a Tax (full NI) demand ... so I suggest you claim it but put some money aside in case of a dispute == if the HMRC want's to investigate your ex-employer, that's up to them ..

PS all the allowances and rates for the self-employed are set by HMRC == you REALLY should know what these are (link 2)
