Re: Expenses again.....

"Current Umbrella rules mean that I can no longer claim back those expenses. Ergo, I won't be working in Bristol for much longer."

Exactly why I've just ditched a client (perks of being a contractor) and found a new one closer to home.

I'm not saying I was doing them a favor exactly but they were chronically short of staff and paid well so me spending 15-20 hours a week commuting was beneficial to both of us. From April I'd be paying 6k a year on travel expenses out of my own pocket instead of my LTD... Just not going to fly I'm afraid. They are now down one contractor and the other 30-40 will be leaving in the next 6 weeks.
