    Milleage allowance after coming back to same client?

    Hi all,

    I worked for a client for 5.5yrs which ended last year. I stopped claiming for mileage at the 2yr cut off years back.

    I am now back 5months later with the same client. Can I start claiming mileage allowance again?

    cheers

      Afraid not - the 40% part of the 24 month rule applies here

        Am so glad to see people are reading stickies, numerous guides and trying a bit of a search before asking basic questions on stuff they should really know.

        I hope you know more about IR35 than you do expenses policies with 5.5 years at the same client......

            Lisa, I am appalled. That is not correct and you know it.

            Of course the OP can claim mileage.

              Absolutely, you can claim the mileage allowance, providing it meets your employers expenses policy.

              The correct question is "can I claim mileage without incurring a benefit in kind charge?", to which the answer would be no because of the 40% rule.

                Better, but we still don't know how many days per week the OP was working on site before the 5 month break. But assuming full or near full time, you are correct.

                  Ok to clarify he cannot claim tax relief on the expense although I think you're being a bit pedantic
