Newbie inside IR35and allowable expenses

Many thanks. It's notable none of then mention anything about relocation expenses.

And while I agree that "HMRC’s view is the employee’s pay is earnings from employment ......" there are rafts of expense and allowances that are allowed in relocating through normal employment. In fact that is my point.

But you aren't normally employed. You've got the whole understanding of what you are fundamentally wrong. You are in 'pseduo employment' as nothing more than doing the minimum to get paid from an inside gig. Your 'employer' is your umbrella who will do absolutely nothing but the legal minimum. Proper employers might do a lot of things as benefits which costs them time and money, a short term payroll company will not.

It's been explained to you in mulitple posts, colours and fonts and you still aren't getting it.

Let me come at it from a brolly side... the expense would only be reimbursed IF the end client is agreeing to pay for the travel element for you, if they are not willign to pay, then you will see nothing. If reimbursing, the brolly would need to check your contractual location of work on the B2B contract, if that states that the assignment involves travel to the office, then even if reimbursing this would be taxed accordingly.

If they are not reimbursing, then this comes down to a review on whether you are under SDC (Supervision, Direction and Control) by the end client. If operating inside IR35 it is unlikely you would get through an SDC test, although not impossible. If you did then you could look to see if any of the expenses could be put through via self assessment at the end of the year.

Many thanks for all the replies. Some were a bit harsh!

For the first couple of weeks I am using an Airbnb so working away hasn't broken the bank.

As others have said I don't have any expenses that I can claim from HMRC and the only efficient thing I can do is shovel much of the income into a pension fund, bypassing both forms of NI and Income Tax.

Thanks again.
