24 month rule in London

Hi,

For those of you working in London what do you do for multiple roles in London? Do you distinguish between central,west, north etc. or stop claiming after 24 months?

PS - I understand the rules but curious how other people see it, especially those who live in London

Thanks

I go by HMRC guidance - which says that a substantially different journey resets it, especially if the cost changes. So I'd count City, West end and Canary Wharf as different places as I'd take different routes to get there and wildly different prices (anything between £500-£1500 a year depending on whether overground or underground is used). Some routes are a direct tube, some involve a change, some involved mixed modes of transport.

But Bank and London Bridge for example I would count as the same, as they'd probably be the same cost, same time and near enough same location.

Does the clock reset if you stop working for someone? You are 1 2 3 months at home then you find another contract close to the previous ie Bank and London Bridge.

Jesus wept. Go read the guide and the sticky. You'll understand how daft your question is after about the 2nd paragraph.

Nope.

Yes it does.


If you are at home for 123 months.




If "1 2 3" means something other than 123, then please correct your grammar so that it makes sense the way you meant it to.

I'm back in Laaandaaan shortly exactly 1 year and 1 day after I finished up a 2 year gig there , since then I have had 2 other gigs in different parts of the country. I'm claiming back my rail ticket as a T&S expense as in my view a significant time has passed since I was last there (am actually going back to the same client!) and that has reset the 24 month rule

Doesn't reset it as such does it?. I thought you applied the 40% rule which means the next period of not being able to claim will arrive quicker. You'll fail that rule first as the clock doesn't reset to the 24 month?
