I've got a temporary part time contract which starting to look like it might go beyond 24 months, however its pretty close to 40% depending on how you measure it. So is it 40% of 5 * 52, or 40% of days actually worked (which may be 6 * 52, less holidays), or something else?

40% rule. 40% of what?

I's not a hard and fast rule, merely HMRC's usual fuzzy description of the reality, but 40% of time worked is the way I read it: i.e. less than 60% on site.Blog? What blog...? -
40% of working time. It is hard and fast and specific.

The second link is an example in which someone only works two days a week, one at a temporary site that exceeds 24 months. Because it is more than 50% of working time, even though it is only one day a week, the 24 month rule applies.Comment

Yes, it is 40% of your working time.
The rules are quite clear, and although the guidance is old it is all there for you. And for once with HMRC some good examples given.Comment

Hi
On the back of this is it 40% at one client??
To expand
If I am working for 2 clients, both in London and close to one another but only doing 20% at 1 and 30% at another.
Does that count as 50% in one location (as they are both close to one another and there is no change to my travel)
or it is per contract?
I read somewhere that location is everything!!!Comment

The rest is pretty relevant as well
