Wondering if I should fight this one. Contract is defo outside IR35, no doubt about it, but wondering if this specific instance creates a concern.
I'm charging a client expenses for any travel - flights, petrol, parking etc. I'm re-billing + VAT and showing the client receipts. Sorted.
Client has now expressed that they want to book a hotel on my behalf for the time I spend on site (which isn't much - 4 days initially, maybe 4 days extra every 3 months). They've said they want to pay for it directly because they have corporate rates to make it cheaper.
I was planning on getting an AirBnB for much cheaper than any hotel rates I've seen - not said that to the client yet, but wondering if it's even worth mentioning at this point.
Only concern I have is that its taking control away from me; for various personal reasons I would rather live in a house than a hotel while I'm on site, and choose it myself.
Thoughts?
