Does mileage clock reset with new consultant but the same client?

[Harish]

I have been contracting (IR35) with a consultant A for 2 years and now I have got an extension for 1 more year. But my manager advised me to go with Consultant B to reset the mileage clock. Does the mileage clock reset if I will be working for the same client but with a different consultant?

Also I might get a slightly better rate with Consultant B due to their low commission rates but I dont want to offend Consultant A and get blacklisted by them if this is not a good practise.

What bollocks. The mileage clock only re sets at the start of the new tax year.

And by consultant, do you mean agency!?

[malvolio]

Or do you mean the 24 month rule on expenses? In which case, they are still talking bollocks...

HTH...

I don't understand the meaning of the word 'Consultant' here. Care to explain?

Are you taking a train ?

I've got to wonder why a client manager would keep a contractor that knows so little about his own affairs. I hope you put a little more effort in to your work for your client than you do running your own business.

You won't be able to go with agent B. You contract and the upper contract will have handcuffs not allowing this.

I know what he's taking, and it's not a train.

Sorry the vagueness, here are the clarifications.
Consultant - Agency
Mileage clock - Claiming Mileage expenses 24 months rule
Manager - Client Manager
Mileage expenses - Car mileage expenses
IR35 - Mine is a standard IR35 contract

You mean, you are inside IR35 ?
