Hi
My client is a large financial organisation with a number of sites across the UK including a head office in London.
So far, I've only worked at one of their sites in the South East. I live far enough away from this site to commute Mon/Fri and stay in digs during the week. The travel/accommodation costs are paid for by my ltd company and they're claimed as an expense for tax purposes.
However, my client has asked me to work at a few of its other sites over the coming months. It's likely I'll spend a week or two at a site, return back to the first site for a week or two, then go to another site for a week or two. I live far enough away from all the sites to commute Mon/Fri and stay in digs.
I thought I'd have to bear the cost of the travel/accommodation when at these other sites in the same way I do for the main site. But I've been told by another contractor that my client would need to cover these costs when I'm working at other sites.
Is this true? If so, how would the accounting work? Do I bear the cost as usual then invoice my client or would it have to be dealt with another way.
Thanks.
