two questions for all you clever people - probably been asked before but no harm in asking again!
Umbrella Companies - they get you to sign an 'overarching' employment contract and then you perform separate 'assignments' under this overarching contract. You perform these 'assignments' at a 'temporary workplace' which therefore entitles you to claim expenses (mileage & travel to / from the temporary workplace etc) and thus reduce your tax bill.
Question one: if the clients site (for each assignment) is the temporary workplace, where the h3ll is my permanent workplace? I am based in Bristol and my Umbrella is based in London (registered office) so surely my permanent workplace cannot be London? Is it my home office in Bristol?
Question Two: going back to the overarching contract, what would happen if I only perform one assignment within the overarching contract and then go back to permanent work? Would that mean that the client's site (usually classed as the temporary workplace) becomes my permanent workplace and therefore I should pay back the tax I have saved by claiming expenses?
Please help, a few of us here would like to know...
Cheers
