Can I claim as expenses if I decide to work from another location? All you need is good internet in these covid times. If I book an apartment for a month in London or Edinburgh or anywhere else and work from there, can I claim that as an expense?

No because it's not wholly and exclusively for the purpose of business. It's because you fancy a trip out which is a personal choice.
If you had to move somewhere to be nearer to a client then yes, fancy a trip somewhere then no.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!! -

There was a case a while back of someone travelling regularly to Bristol and staying in a Travelodge who wasn't able to claim for due to the fact he was working for multiple clients while there. There is slightly more to it than that but it wasn't much...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

As a general rule of thumb, if the client needs you to be in a particular location in order to deliver the contracted services then you can claim the expenses. If you fancy a month in Spain then no, you can't claim it.Comment

In either case, I would trust your accountant more than I'd trust the replies on this forum, should really be asking themComment

Of course, if the gig is inside IR35 then you can't claim any expenses unless the client is reimbursing you.Comment

I wouldn't be posting here if it was obvious. The IR35 rules are designed so that you show that you are a company and you can work from anywhere. The client should not be able to dictate where you work, right? And you should be able to substitute .. blah blah i.e. You should be able to make your own decisions. I'm exercising that right. The responses here seem to suggest that if a client wants you in a certain location, then you can claim.
Yes. It is director's to work from another location. So, why can it not be submitted as an expense?

But as you've just stated it is pretty obvious so doesn't really need his accountant on this one and the advice we give is spot on. It's not wholly and exclusively for work so it fails the test. Very simple this one.Comment
