Folks,
I hope I can get some clear advice on this issue since it seems another contentious one in the minefield that is ir35 (good luck they say).
I live in London but my contract is in Cardiff, so I rent a place and stay there Sunday through Thursday nights. Thing is, I don't "maintain the upkeep" of the London property - its owned by family and lived in by other members of my family.
My umbrella has informed me that for tax purposes my permanent place of residence must be Cardiff, since a) I don't own the London pad, b) I'm not a paying tenant and c) I'm not a mortgager. Meaning, the expenses I have been claiming over the last 12 months (prev. away from home contract as well) re. accom and travel to temporary workplace have been invalid.
I have been through the IRs guidelines (480-2003) and cannot see how my umbrella has reached this interpretation, nor can they explain this ruling sufficiently to me.
Advice...?
