[GhostofTarbera]

Does the OP have receipts?

Uber sends you a receipt after ever journey, with a map of pick up points, route, time, mileage etc

Can't you get your boss back on the forums to give it straight rather than all this namby pamby professional advice?

Namby Pamby??

[northernladuk]

I don't do this but as an accountant and tax adviser, I can confirm that this is ok to do provided that you're working at a temporary workplace. It's no different that paying a taxi driver with your own personal cash and then claiming it back as an expense.

I commute to my contract workplace mostly via taxis. I don't have a business account set up with them I pay for the taxi and then reimburse myself at the end of the month for the trips. The accountant has given me the green light to do this, just want to double check does anybody else do this?

Are the journeys travel between business premises or commuting from home to and from a temporary workplace?

[Old Greg]

Then we can ask whether the journeys are wholly and exclusively for business.

Before these questions, we can ask whether the contract is inside or outside IR35.

[Old Greg]

Yes. Then we can ask whether if it is in a new location, and if not how long the OP was working and expecting to work at this location beforehand.

Will we have to ask how long the contract has been running and when it finishes?

Once we've established that it is his Ltd that is reimbursing him, we can agree that it is allowed.

The next question is whether there is a benefit in kind.

I see what you did there. Very clever.
