project (see Fringe Benefits and Travel Costs in this exhibit). This is usually what people are referring to when they talk about claiming travel expenses. (Also see Construction Grants-Allowable and Unallowable Costs and Activities in IIB). If so, yourCo will reimburse you for travel expenses - effectively meaning you save the tax on them. Your home location is your problem, not theirs.Īre you working via a limited company? Are you outside IR35? Is your contract expected to last for less than two years? Unless your skillset is very niche, why would they? They could just engage someone more local. If your freelancing, 1099 contracting, or small business involves driving, then you can claim car-related tax write-offs. ThanksIt would be unusual for your client to meet your travel expenses, and would be explicitly spelt out if that was the intention. Should I still push for the travel to be paid or is it normal that you pay your own costs getting to the client? The contract is vague on expenses. The agency does, however, caution business owners.
I will stay there during the week and the hotel will be paid for. The IRS doesnt limit a business owners mileage expense to travel outside the contractors metropolitan area. A taxpayer who uses the automatic mileage method to compute auto expenses can. I have just signed a contract which is ready to start in 3 weeks and during the conversations with the recruitment consultants I did ask if my expenses will be met for travel from my house to the site. One indicia of independent contractor (rather than employee) status is. I am still fairly new to contracting so I hope this question is not too naive?
