Has your accountant said why he thinks you are inside IR35?? If he has only said that you cannot claim travel and accommodation then, as the others have said, the 24 month rule may apply.

Valid question.

If it's the 24 month rule then you couldn't claim those expenses via an Umbrella either. That rule is about temporary workplace location and not employment route.
Substantially the same location for 24 months = permanent place of work not temporary therefore no expenses.
