Red Flag to IR35 on client paying expenses

You shouldn't like it. It's rubbish. Check Mals post below it and read it with a hugh <sarcasm> tag in front of it. But he is right. Contractors do not claim expenses, permies do. If you start doing this you will raise a huge flag for IR35 which I am sure you have read up on.

Red Flag to IR35 on client paying expenses - you will find this is an IR35 urban myth.

What nonsence to say Contractors do not claim expenses from there clients

While you can claim expenses from your clients that are properly invoiced , and you can't claim as a way to change the income you receive from your only long term client. People aren't stupid and that includes HMRC.

I was under the impression that it applies to subsistance as well as travel expenses, or have I got this wrong ?

Check the HMRC website, Travel expenses: travel for necessary attendance: the 24 month rule: how to find out the expected period of time at a workplace it's only travel. Out of interest, what "subsistence" are you claiming too?

Of course it's allowed, but it's a BIK if you know you're there over two years regardess of how you source it.

That is not expenses moron. That is something delivered to you to be able to do your job like your laptop. No money changes hands.

If you you paid for it and used the clients expenses system to get the value of your flight back then you are raising the IR 35 flag.

oh dear

Why would you need to claim back anything that is paid direct by the client?

You can claim them back if you paid for them. If the client paid you don't need to claim it. You are mixing situations up. Expenses in this thread is about the OP paying it and getting it back from the client. This is completely different from your example where the client pays it direct.

I was giving a different example on how 'Contractors do Claim expenses' from clients and do Not fall within IR35
