Overnight pay?

[snowbash]

I've been asked to travel to a remote site, where I will need to stay
overnight for approx 10 nights, over 2 weeks.

Remote travel is not mentioned in the contract

Is it unreasonable to seek an increase in the dayrate from the Agency?

And at what level 10%, 20%?

Cheers

[Sockpuppet]

Nope.

Just tell then that you'll do it for an extra <insert what you want here>.

Depends on lenght of contract and how long this will go on for.

If its a 6 monther and this is for 2 weeks max 20% will be a bit much.

I have done this and just charged at cost price. Myco pays the expenses actually incurred and I just invoice the EB/client for the full amount.

welcome to the real world of 'working away'.

the client normally pays the expenses (or you claim back from them) and you charge your normally daily rate.

you could always say no!!!

If the client pays your expenses (via re-imbursement through your Ltd) then doesn't that put you more in the IR35 camp?

[Ardesco]

No because you claim expenses that you have incurred from your company. YourCo then charges client extra because yourCo has incurred extra costs that were not covered in the originaly fee yourCo get. You charge VAT on the amount that you invoice the client and give the VAT to HMRC and everybody is happy.

In my case they never see the expenses receipts etc as they are strictly my arrangement with my limited. Instead they incur an additional Myco charge for my attendance at the foreign site.
