24 Month Rule

[OwlHoot]

The additional payment for the first 10,000 miles reflects the expenses of keeping a car... Once you hit 10,000 miles supposedly those servicing costs have been covered so what's left is supposed to cover fuel and not those other expenses.

That crossed my mind, but it seems a specious argument. After all, if the per mile payment is supposed to cover fuel and servicing then the mileage should be immaterial because the more miles one does the more the car will need servicing or even replacing.

Right, so if I live 20 miles from my work location I claim travel expense for upto 24 months.

Or until you know it is a permanent workplace or 24 months whichever is sooner. which is why you might sign up for 12 months and 11 months 27 days. Then consider another contract, diversify or take the hit

moving home doesn't seem to count, moving offices significantly does.

OK, so you could take monday-to-friday lodgings and every two years swap your registered office from home to there, and then claim your home is technically your workplace and you just visit clientco a few days a week, or something like that.
