Nothing... Just did some googling and its on their website as well.

Seems the 40/60 rule comes into play.. but now I am confused...

I working in area A for 3 years...

Then went to area B for 12 months

Now back to area A at the moment on a 3 month gig

Where does that put me ? I was told I can't claim.

what happened to the 9 month break?

Got my numbers wrong.... It was 12 month break...

Would a 9 month break make it allowable ? I also get a bit confused with 40/60 stuff.

Hence why I just trust my accountant

Depends on how long the gig in City B lasted... Should had been at least 15 months for the previous gig in City A not to be an issue?

I have a similar problem recently... I thought a 9 month break was enough... and it wasn't So had to repay some money and stop claiming.

My accountant mentioned 15 months too but doesnt this just use the 60/40 rule. ie assuming you worked at previous place for some time, once you been at 2nd gig for 15 months, then its 15 new gig, 9 old gig so your 60% of the time at new location. Is that right?

But then surely this depends on duration of previous gig as well? In my case, 3 months at location A, then 8 months at location B. Going back the full 24 to other gigs none of these are same locations.

So after 8 months at B, in the last 24 months I've worked 8 months B, 3 months A, 13 months other. So way less than 40% at A. Which means I'm good to go back to location A and start from zero???

It's not hard to work out. There is an entire thread on this and a ton of of others. Why on earth are you asking this rather than putting a bit of effort in?

Why not try and help yourself rather than post this crap?

I reckon (if Im right):-

When you finished in area B previous 24 months had been 50/50 A/B. So no sorry it still counts and you can't claim.

I reckon if you'd done 3 years at A, then 15 months at B, (so when finishing B you'b be 15 months B, 9 months A > 60%) you'd have been ok.

All good... That is what I just worked out but good to see the logic being double checked...

Honestly. We've done this to death and you've been round long enough to know. Stop posting utter tulip and people might take you a little more seriously.
