Renatal Accomodation Expense - please reply

[stumacgunnermac]

Hi,

I'm trying to work out what is the best option on how I can claim the tax back on a contract I'm about to start.

The contract is 60 miles away from my Primary Residence and so I want to rent a flat there. Don't really want to drive it daily as it is a real bad traffic nightmare.

What is the stipulation on how far from your primary residence the other location has to be and how do you prove that you don't live there at the weekend, perhaps a clause in the tenancy agreement?

Is there somewhere I can look on the net to investigate this ruling?

Any help appreciated.

Thank you fo all your answers I will post a message now warning people not to use the 360 Group. 3 Sixty group are really bad.

Heh, I could have told you that

I used them for one month while my accountant was setting up my LTD Company and what a nightmare. They wouldn't speak to me on the phone, didn't want to answer any questions, screwed up my tax and didn't pay me all the money they owed me. In the end is wasn't much (about £30) so I really couldn't be bothered to jump through hoops to try and get it back.

However the worst thing they did was refuse to send me a P45 and keep me on thier books until the end of the year which caused a bit of aggro for a while while the IR had it in thier heads that I had 2 jobs. Never got an apology and wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

The person that I was assigned to was rude and unhelpful whener I did manage to get her on the phone and sounded like she really didn't give a sh*t, which was surprising considering it was my money that was probably paying her wages.....

No experience but think I've read similar comments about that company more than once.
