Hi.
Just secured a 3 month contract starting 25th June which is 50 miles from home and looking for most effective way to claim for travel or expenses or peoples thoughts on the below:
Option 1 - Train 50 mins with a weekly travel card £110 or monthly £520 (direct train to location and a 6 min walk to client site)
Option 2 - Car - 1 hr 20 with a 140 mile round trip (Longer journey with potential traffic and finding parking in city close to client site also fuel costs running a 2.0l petrol )
Option 3 - Mixture of both above possibly 3 days train and 2 days car or vice versa.
Option 1 is the easiest and most relaxing where as option 2 will be most stressful but with more options to claim. Option 3 will this raise issues from HMRC about choice of commuting and using the most cost effective way ?
If I decide on option 1 is it better to pay through my LTD on a weekly or monthly basis or pay from my own pocket and claim back those expenses later ?
Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on this and their suggestions ?
Thanks...
