Hi
I'm new to this forum and would appreciate some help please. Decided to become a contractor after being made redundant 2 years ago.
I got a 3-month contract in Feb 04 via an agency (which has been extended 6 times and I expect to be extended on several more occasions) and am using an Umbrella company, so as I understand it, IR35 doesn't come into it and "I am a PAYE employee with the benefits of being able to reduce tax" as they explained it to me.
Although the contract says "client location:xxxxxx", I very rarely work at that particular office (it is an admin office and is where the people who run the project are based - I may work there once every 2 weeks)
I deliver training courses for this client (one of the UK's police forces) - they have 8 training locations all within about 10 miles of each other and can be at any one of these locations.
I currently claim daily travel expenses but on my expense form I put "home to XXXX" where XXXX is the name of the city, rather than a specific location within the city - I live 40 miles from the city. I also and meal allowance
My question is what would be my position after 2 years in relation to claiming mileage and meal allowance against tax.
Thanks
Mike
