Managing expenses efficiently

[youngguy]

You realise that means you can’t claim any more expenses from now don’t you?

It really doesn't

It really doesn't

It really does. The rule looks forward.

prevents a workplace from being a temporary workplace where an employee attends it in the course of a period of continuous work that lasts, or is likely to last, more than 24 months

The fact you are financially planning for it to last more than 24 months also removes the 'plausible deniability' excuse.
Being anonymous helps, and you can do what you want as it's difficult to prove.

But your gig is likely to last, or you expect it to last, more than 2 years as your original post suggest so the rule applies now.

Indeed...but the word there is LIKELY. There is nothing to suggest I will receive an extension offer,or if I do....I will take it. This curiosity came from a conversation with someone else.

BTW, In the last week I walked into a jewellers and had a look on rightmove, as well as muttering a nasty name about someone. Doesn't mean I am getting a watch, moving house and about to commit assault!

But if you say so, [emoji106]

Useful thread this. Maybe it should be a sticky?

If there is one guarantee it's that every single Q on here gets some useful answers, peppered inbetween a whole load of ill founded assumption, irrelevance and keyboard warrior/ego building action.

Still keeps us all out of (too much) trouble and entertained, so it's all good! [emoji6]

Now let's all get out there and enjoy the sun!
