Got an offer inside IR35. Would appreciate some inputs.

[Brummie]

After being in bench for 7 weeks, my patience ran out and have accepted a role inside IR35 paying £550 (less than my previous rate which was outside). Agent has provided me info for an umbrella company that they recommend. As it is away from home, it would be a weekly commute back to home.

Having searched here and on the net, I am not getting a clear picture on whether I can claim travelling and accommodation expenses.

Would appreciate some input. Thanks

Ah...Although agent said its a longer project, I guess it's going to be till I find another one. Thanks for the clarification.

Google finds lots of information.. Stuff like... Nothing unclear about it.

I did read that page

...who are working inside IR35, can no longer claim for travel and subsistence ...

but it didn't state anything about accommodation.

You are being taxed like an employee. Perhaps the 'employer' should pay for your accommodation or renegotiate your rate to get it included.

^^ This. Get them to fork out for your expenses like they would if they were sending an employee to London who say was domiciled at their Newcastle office. Oh and don't use the brolly your pimp is recommending, kickbacks galore there.

Could you/anyone please recommend one. My contract is being drafted as I write this. As I have no choice at the moment other than accepting the gig, if anyone is already using an umbrella inside IR35 could throw in some names. Known devil is better than an unknown angel :-).
