Not sure if you've covered it but might be worth covering average number of changes in location. There are probably a significant number of contractors out there that claim regardless of two year rule or treat it on a contract basis rather than location basis which masks the importance of the allowance to those that frequently change locations. Just a thought.

I really don't want to get in to a situation where people said yep I'm breaking the rules. Mainly because most people don't know the rules (HMRC's T&S employers guide is 70 pages long because of the nuances)...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

The important bit is to compare the figures with those from the last census http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/census...d-to-work.html That has your typical IT worker having a commute of less than 10km (each way) with a national average of 15km each way..Comment

I only have met one contractor who didn't know the rules. He ended up in trouble for different reasons.
Other contractors where either told their accountants or bothered to read the first timers guides."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Very contractor heavy client and was there awhile so got to know people well enough to admit it.
To say I've never met a contractor that does this isn't really a good indicator. I've never met a contractor well enough for them to admit their failings in their accounts properly is more like it.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I agree. That's why I thought it may be a good idea to put some figures together as to how often locations change and the differences of the locations. And could the system be improved rather than removed?Comment
