Umbrella offering expenses?!

If inside IR35, likelihood is that the contractor would fail an SDC test (not that an official test actually exists), on a rare occasion that the end client would declare that the contractor is not under SDC, then the contractor "may" be able to claim these back via self assessment at the end of the year.

So my conversation with HMRC back when IR35 came into the public sector was along these lines...

I think that NLUK is correct: the umbrella has chosen their words carefully, to say something that is technically true, but potentially misleading.Comment

As an example, I had an inside contract (via an umbrella) with an MSP. I.e. various other organisations had outsourced the IT to them. If I drove out to a client site to replace their router, I could claim the travelling expenses between the MSP's office and the client site (45p/mile). However, I couldn't claim anything to get from my home to the MSP's office.
