Pied a terre

[hugebrain]

I think it's time to lock this thread. It's going absolutely nowhere.

Sorry to hear you’ve reached your peak.

Anyway, I’ve checked and it seems you can claim for the pied a terre indefinitely (since it is not more than 40% of your working week). For the beach house there’s a two year limit (when you think the assignment will last two years, not when it actually does).

Interestingly, if you stay with a friend or relative you can claim for the money you would have spent if you hadn’t. That’s a new one on me, I think I’ve missed a trick here in the past.

rules around business travel, whilst applicable to accommodation costs are unrelated to the rules around "wholly and exclusively". Don't conflate them.

If you search the internet long enough to find some information that supports your desire. You WILL find it, but that does not make it true.

staying with a friend or relative is about a personal claim not a business expense. So again.... don't conflate different things.

So you think your business can pay for both?

That loophole has been closed for years.

This thread is getting ridiculous.

Yep, this getting daft. Thread closed.
