[LisaContractorUmbrella]

Thinking about it this whole thing is absolute effing bulls$it

We live and work where we live and work - now we have to turn down contracts next door to each other for completely different clientcos so as not to fall into one of their stupid traps..

Has anyone taken this to a tribunal?

You don't need to turn down contracts next door, just don't claim expenses, which should be not much if you live close, right??

No because it means he is well under the 40% at any location.

Cool thanks for the clarification.

But surely the cost of getting there is pretty low and you will only be losing the tax relief on that.

About £201.60 a month

How does the 24 month rule affect things like claiming broadband and use of home office? I do a lot of plan B work on the weekends which is run through the LTD..

So the tax relief is £40!! How low is your rate Bob?

That indicates your travel is not significantly different over a period of greater than 24 months.

If you took a contract in Hertfordshire for a few months or worked a few months at home in between then it would be.
