IR35 Expenses – Accommodation Costs

Q. My question relates to IR35 expenses. My permanent homes address is 150 miles away from my place of work. The only way I could maintain this contract is to go in on Monday and return home on Friday as otherwise I will have to make a 300 miles trip daily by road as I need my car to travel from client to client for work purpose. I work for a Local Authority and caught by IR35. Now my question is this. Should my accommodation expenses for the period be claimable? I know that people employed directly by local authorities can claim for overnight expenses if they travel out of area for work purposes.

A. Although employees can claim for extraordinary expenses where they are required to travel outside of their usual commute, ordinary home to work expenses are not claimable, and therefore in our opinion you would not be able to claim the cost of the accommodation, because the role has been determined to fall inside of IR35. We would refer you to the following guidance for further information on this, Travel and subsistence expenses for workers engaged through ’employment intermediaries’ from 6 April 2016.

    I feel for you.

    Once again screwed by the double standard. Treated as an employee without the rights of an employee. This is why I like so many others abandoned the NHS in April and will NEVER work inside IR35. No sympathy for gov you reap what you sow

I switched over to QAccounting a few months ago and haven't looked back. I get to speak to my own client manager and accountant, the prices were the best I had seen, and I paid exactly what it said online (no extra costs). Very happy with QA.
