answer text <p>There are no ongoing discussions between the Department and Her Majesty’s Treasury about allowing rail season ticket holders to reclaim a sum calculated by applying the basic rate of tax to the cost of their season ticket. Government recognises the concerns people have about the cost of rail fares, and that is why we have ensured that regulated rail fares can rise by no more than inflation since 2014. Many employers also offer loans for season tickets or salary sacrifice schemes.</p><p> </p> more like this
