Hi,
I've just started my first contracting job and it involves a lot of travel to different sites. The client has stayed that I will only be able to claim miles over and above what it would normally take me to get to their main office. The main office is 40 miles from my home, so if I was visiting a site 35 miles in the opposite direction I would be able to claim nothing! Is this right, or do they not actually have to pay me anything and it's just subject to out agreement?
I assume that where the client doesn't reimburse you for mileage you can claim this as a pre-tex expense through your own company anyway.
Also if they do pay me some mileage (for long trips) do I also claim all of this trip again against my own company, or just the unpaid bit?
Thanks!
Ben
