I am on a 3 month contract and it was exteded by a further 7 weeks. I travel to different sites every week from Swindon in the south to Aberdeen in the north and today I received this from my umbrella company.
"As you have only been engaged on one assignment whilst in our employment HMRC now regard the workplace as a permanent workplace and you are no longer able to claim travel and accommodation expenses.
That applies to your final invoice and I have deleted the expenses from the timesheet and raised a replacement invoice."
I can only find the 24 month rule and the 40% rule, neither of which apply to me and I can find nothing that says HMRC consider you to be permanent because you only work on one assignment. Please advise.
