    No. 24 month rule relates to not being able to claim T&S when you know you will be working in the same geographic location for over 24 months. Plenty to read up on this in the links to the right. -->

      Correct - if you are inside IR35 then you cannot claim travel and subsistence expenses.

      The 24 month rule is irrelevant, because you can't claim travel and subsistence expenses due to your IR35 status.

        Just looking at a new contract myself, which the wording squarely lands inside IR35.....
        I thought you could continue to claim fuel and accommodation?

        If your contract and working practices look like you are inside IR35 you can still claim: traveling and accommodation expenses.....

          New rules came in April 16. Check the Future of Contracting forum.

          If you follow the link you posted and the click in the expenses link it takes you to a page that tells you about IR35. Need to read more.


          What if I’m inside IR35, what expenses can I claim?

          If your contract is caught by IR35 then the only expenses claimable are: administration expenses which are fixed at 5% of your contract income, , pension contributions and certain professional subscriptions. You should however, still record and receipt all business expenses.

            Having spent nearly 4 years working away from home it the only chance at the moment of being home more! I Spent 11 years (89-00) contracting and following the work, i'm well aware it might only last 12 months, but better that than no prospect of doing so.

            We move to South Wales, where the rates, salary and contract, are very provincial, and at the moment can't afford a 50% drop! So having to work away.

              More like bank on a gig lasting 3 months and the rest is a bonus.
