All, im new to this contracting lark and i have recently started a new contract. My first week i stayed in a very below par Travelodge and i claimed full accommodation expenses along with overnight subsistance through my umbrella co Parasol.
I have now moved into a shared house...............or is it a guest house????
My question is this, what is the difference between a shared house and a guest house??? my normal understanding of the rules are that if i have use of a kitchen i cant claim overnight subsistance, and because im renting for a full month i can only claim for 20 days out of 30. I.E working days
Now suppose i said i was staying in a guest house (room only) and was being billed £25pn mon-fri and the nice lady who owns the house offered to cook me evening meals for say £15pn.................what would be the HMRC stance on this and would it be feasable for me to claim overnight subsistance????
Any help and or advice would be appreciated
