Daily rate increase vs. Expenses being paid?

If the expenses are disbursements you don't add VAT if not then you would charge VAT, further details found here:

Just send them the link and they shouldn't argue then.

Shouldn't being the operative word

First post - Hello!

I have a contract in front of me now paying £X00 per day plus £60 fixed expenses.

Is this going to get complicated? Will I need to supply invoices?

Should I press for the expenses to be incorporated into the day rate?

Thank you in advance.

In this order do the following..
Read the contract thoroughly and try to understand it.
Call the agent back and get anything you don't understand clarified to the point that you understand
If you have questions about how your accounts will work with this set up call your accountant and get it clarified.
At this point you should fully understand your situation and will have answered all your questions along the way.

Up to you to sort your shizzle out, not us.

Is it going to get complicated? If you don't start putting some effort in to understanding the fundamentals of your contract the yes... Very...

Thanks for that. Shizzle sorting calls made: the consensus is that fixed un-receipted expenses are a bad idea. I'll request that the contract is amended.

Seems that there is great advantage in keeping things simple.

How are "fixed un-receipted expenses" not simple?

What did you agree to instead?

The fixed expenses probably include VAT in them. So you are better off having a larger rate dealing with your own expenses.....
