I'm sure you know this, but get receipts for everything and as above, invoice for your expenses. Someone else pon here maybe able to help you with the question of whether to add VAT on an EU expenses only invoice, as I always travel outside the EU so don't know about this bit.

They provide you with a desk and a laptop to do your work so why not a flight and a hotel to do your work? I don't see a problem. If they want you there they can get you there.

UK Contract with European Travel
Hi, All.
I'm currently in the middle of a UK IT contract and work through an agency via my own limited company. The client has asked if I can spend a few days in Luxembourg to perform an infrastructure review and have offered to book flights, hotels etc.
As I'm not a direct employee of the client, and with an eye on IR35 legislation, I don't think this would be a favourable option?
So the question is, how do I work this? I'm happy to be flexible in terms of the requirements but I don't to be out of pocket in terms of the expense. I put the same question to my agency (who I bill on a monthly basis) and they had this to say:
"The company is asking you to go as part of your contract position there so there is no issue with them paying and arranging all of the travel, accommodation etc. They are asking you to consult on a piece of work away from the base location of your contract so it doesn’t compromise your IR35 status and you’re fine to let them arrange things."
This (European Travel) isn't mentioned as a specific item in my contract, so I wonder whether you agree with the statement above or whether I should look at paying for flights, accommodation and general expenses myself and then claiming those expenses back?
Any advice would be appreciated.
With thanks,
