Originally posted by malandriActually i think that you can not claim from the moment you know that you will be for 2 years in a contract, for example, if you are 1.5 years in a contract and they offer you a 6 month extension and you accept, you can not claim travel expenses from the moment you accepted as you know that you will be 2 years with themComment

Originally posted by DennySurely this is wrong. If a termination happens and you have your notice period served then you should be able to claim up to the 2 years as before. The contract period is not fixed term or irreversible. Contracts are only 28 rolling day contracts in reality if a 28 day notice period is part of the terms and conditions.
As soon as you know you are going to hit the 2 year barrier, even if that is day 1 then you can not claim those expenses.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

And there's more....
And it gets even more interesting when you're over the twenty-four months at a site, leave and decide to go back.
I think you can claim expenses so long as less than 40% of your time is spent at the client. But how to calculate the 40%? 40% over the past 24 months? 40% of the expected contract duration?
And what happens if you start at below 40% and hit 40% during the contract duration? Does the 'from the moment you know' rule apply here as well?
