It turned out that the start date of my new contract coincided with the half term dates, the little one doen't want to sit at home and as I had to pay for temporary accomodation anyway for myself (hotel, B&B etc..), I decided to book a Caravan for the working week a few miles away from the client's offices.
Can I claim part of the cost of caravan stay as an expense? The caravan was shared with my family so can I claim 33% of the price paid?
Moreover, the VAT invoice for the caravan stay is only in my name and doen't state that anyone else was included in the booking.
My accountant suggests that it is not safe to even claim a partial cost (e.g. 33%) as HMRC may challenge this.
Moeover, I have claimed mileage to and from the Caravan location to home (company's registered address) and apprantely this seems to be okay according to my accountant. My family were with me in the car.
So, going by the same logic, I can't claim for mileage as well, or can I?
