2 Year Rule ?

[TykeMerc]

How long should a break be? I've just started back in Bristol after a 15 month break, is that long enough to reset the clock?

BTW I didn't claim for the last year the first time round as I was there for 3 years so effectively I haven’t claimed travel to Bristol for 27 months, would this make a difference?

15 months is way more than enough in my opinion. I'd treat a month as enough.

No, that's wrong. It's a rolling 24 month period. So, from the day that you "clock up" >40% of the time in that location you cannot claim. It's an ar5e of a rule, but that's how it works.

Arguably correct.

Changed clients that are a distance apart or a seperate client in between and the waters get thoroughly muddied.

It's a total farce. Like many of the absurd tax rules it's easy to be caught out while trying hard to comply and easy to fiddle if you try to.

Yep it is a farce. Why the hell did they come up with 40% ???

Less than half your time spent at a location ???
