2 yr rule and on site only 2 days per week

[dkg]

I have a realated question. I have two contracts one which I have been there a little over a year and the second is one I worked that is coming up for over a two year. I did work full time but now work when I can fit it in. The latter contract I have to travel to various sites to perform the work. I provide consutancy at end clients. Can I still claim these mileage / train fares if I extend over the two years. Also how long a break do I need to take before the two year rule no longer applies?

Can some one point me at the regulations governing this so I can read through the regulations for myself.

How far apart do the contracts need to be before you can start charging the expenses again? I have read the city of london example on the hmrc site, however what if I was working in the city of london, then move to covent garden (for example). Both are in zone 1, however geographically apart... have any of you had a similar scenario and claimed/not claimed? And what did the tax man say when/if you were investigated?

2 years has now passed at my current customers site, so no more travel expeces for me.

but....

I may be able to change my working conditions so I am only onsite 1 or 2 days a week. Could I then claim the travel for the 1 or 2 days I actually travel or will hector me.

It is possible. But it does depend upon the actual circumstances. If you are still on a full-time assignement then you are strictly stuffed,

In order to be able to claim the expenses (bearing in mind the 40% rule) then you need to establish a different permanent workplace. If you have other clients you may be able to claim them, or indeed even your home or office as a permanent workplace.

Anothe way is to ensure you do "substantive" company work at home. That might get you out of the net.

Check out your exact circumstances agains 490. You might just be OK.
