2 year rule - crediting back up front costs

Sometimes depending on how screwed up the train company service is, it's actually cheaper to renew an annual season ticket if you need it for 5-7 months then get a refund on the unused amount.

Simply because if the service is really screwed up they give season ticket holders a massive discount on renewal of the ticket.

As long as you are clear about why you acted that way and put it in the accounts then I don't see how it's a problem.....

If I wasn’t renewed I see it highly likely that I will get another London based role in a similar geographical area.

I don’t why I didn’t think of the refund option! that’s is the simple answer. I have checked the London Midland site and it is allowed

If that is the same one I used to say other positive stuff since then yes. Must have been a good day for me that

It will not be forgotten.

Sorry to keep banging on about this but you didn't comment last time but...You are aware that another London based role will not reset the 2 year clock? 24 months (or the 40% rule) is geographic, not client based. If you were contracting in the same geographic area before this contract you could already be over the 24 month rule. London is mentioned in the HMRC literature specifically.

Why not just play it by the book and get a 6 month travel ticket? How much money can you save?

If you buy in December, probably about a 15-20% saving - even accounting for some non travel during holidays.

You get a 10% + saving for buying an annual ticket - and you get the whole year at 2012 prices although you are mainly using it in 2013. Given that prices are going up by 6% next January, this all adds up.

This is a good point and one that is widely ignored.

NLUK I have to ask - what's with all the numbers??????
