TBH, the accompanying documentation isn't very well QC'd, and there are significant mistakes where placeholders for particular sections of the EIM haven't been referenced etc. You really need to look at the draft legislation, as this will have been scrutinized more carefully. The Intermediaries legislation is contained in ITEPA 2003 Part 2, Chapter 8, of which subsections 49-53 are referenced in the draft legislation for T&S, specifically:
(3) In the case of an engagement consisting of such provision of services as
is mentioned in section 49(1) (services provided under arrangements
made by intermediaries), this section applies—
(a) only if the conditions specified in section 51, 52 or 53 are met in
relation to the intermediary (but disregarding the words “that is
not employment income” in section 50(1)(b)), and
(b) in such a case, as if subsection (2) of this section were omitted.

That's my interpretation too.
Travel and subsistence: HMRC changes course | AccountingWEB - see comments
Consider (brackets are mine!)
"relief will be restricted for (individuals working through personal service companies where the intermediaries’ legislation (IR35) applies, and for individuals working through other employment intermediaries), where the worker is under supervision, direction or control in the manner they carry out the work."
vs
"relief will be restricted for individuals working through personal service companies where the intermediaries’ legislation (IR35) applies, and (for individuals working through other employment intermediaries, where the worker is under supervision, direction or control in the manner they carry out the work).
Definitely ambiguous, but the second quote
1.8 The government will therefore amend its proposals, so that the new measure will only apply to a PSC’s contract when it falls within the intermediaries legislation,
Would suggest we are excluded.

See quote from article
t will apply****automatically,****meaning contractors will be ‘SDC’ unless shown otherwise because the government claims, “this [SDC] is how an individual carries out their duties.”
If you claim T&S expenses, and are later found to have been inside IR35, then I would expect you to have to pay tax on that money, because you shouldn't have been allowed it in the first place.

It is still not clear whether everyone working for thru umbrella OR agency will be assumed to be under SD or C unless they can prove they should opt out. That's the worrying bit as many of us have said when pushed Client Co will bottle it.

If you are operating as a Ltd Co. and are outside IR35 then you can continue to claim T&S as before.

confused by t&'s latest announcement
[HMT’s David] Gauke didn’t pull any surprises out of the bag,” says ex-tax official Carolyn Walsh. “[But] a one or two-month cap…may still be a possibility if, that is; it wasn't a ruse.”
Nevertheless, from April 6th 2016, legislation will*prohibit tax relief on Travel and Subsistence expenses for umbrella and PSC workers*under ‘Supervision, Direction or Control.’
Due to net the exchequer a projected £505million between 2015 and 2020, the T&S legislation will affect 430,000 people a year, who are employed via umbrellas or agencies.
It will apply*automatically, meaning contractors will be ‘SDC’ unless shown otherwise because the government claims, “this [SDC] is how an individual carries out their duties.”
Picked this up today from Contractor News and am confused by the reference to the 430000 people per year employed via umbrellas or agencies....does this mean the only way for it not to apply is either by going direct to Client Co or by explicitly having client and agency state you are not under S D or C or they risk shared.liability? Given how few of us contract direct to client Co isn't this bad news????Tags: None
