But inside means no expense for t&s anyway so 24month rule irrelevant

Good point. When I was inside previously and via a brolly (some years ago), I was travelling down and staying during the week. So the expenses point is moot.

Double drat.

I have no idea where I got 2 miles from then. Reading the 101 thread it looks like 200 may be more appropriate. And I just turned down one of those. Double drat.

Different location.

So what?

Edit : In fact.. Don't answer that. There is a 24 month rule thread for this discussion.

2 miles? Expenses possible?"Explain. You were at uour last client over 24 months and you are thinking 2 miles resets the clock?

Different location.

When a perm my office was at Brooklands and while I couldn't claim expenses into there from home I did with every other office irrelevant of how near/far/distance, including Chessington which I got to using the A3, ie passing within a mile of my 'home' office.

Don't see the issue the OP just needs to move house to a very different location

I thought so but I'm guessing by your incredulous response that I'm woefully wrong.

Correct.

Well, I have next gig lined up, but it's public-private hybrid. Not FOI, but one could expect it to be part of the next round of targets assuming HMRC will continue the rollout.

Contract coming shortly, through agent swears is outside, and ofc I'll get it assessed, but I'm leery of assessments and trusting transient/uninformed client staff to accurately describe WP.

I'm thinking of playing safe and going inside even though I may legitimately be outside. I realise that sounds horrendous but I don't want to be in the same position a year from now where we all think we're outside but a ridiculously loaded 'test' or uninformed client puts everyone inside.

Plus it's more than 2 miles from current gig so some expenses may be possible if I remember my expenses rule correctly.

Make sure you get your contracts, WPs, etc. reviewed regularly to keep you outside. If they tell you outside, take the outside and remember to set the money aside for six years.

oh and

I have a feeling, if the BETs were anything to go by, that isn't a given.

I would actually have gone for however I actually suspect that getting a pass is going to be far far harder...
