HMRC audit going badly

[northernladuk]

Hello - I haven't moved location but...
I stopped claiming at the point I knew I'd pass 24 months
I've had 18 months not claiming.
Can I start claiming again?

I would argue that not claiming is the same in principle (and material effect) as not working there.

Would really value your opinions...
Thanks

You could of couse read the whole thread and understand it. If you fail at this you could at least give us a decent explaination of your situtation. I ASSUME you are still at the same client. The clock doesn't start again until you move out of the area to a new client or office. If your location hasn't changed then you can no longer claim...ever..

I can't even understand your argument.

Well you could argue it, but you'd be wrong.

You must in a different location physically to start claiming.

Absolutely not - the 24 month rule applies to the location of your assignment; if you have worked there for more than 24 months you cannot claim travel or accommodation expenses
