Hi folks,
I am a self employed engineering contractor. I have recently taken a new contract role with a company that is designing and building a new plant. I consider my 'normal place of work' to be the site where the new plant is being built, this is where my office is located. During the initial design phase (~6 months), I will be spending 2-4 days a week in an engineering firm's office attending meetings etc.
Am I entitled to claim mileage and subsistence expenses from the site (normal place of work) to the engineering firms offices? My accountant has referred me to IT54 and it is all good.
I just want validation from others that what I am doing is ok. I should qualify this by saying that I have already been subjected to a revenue audit as part of the revenue contractors project which did not end very well for me.
I would appreciate any comments as I do not want to fall foul of the revenue when they come calling again in a few years time with their interpretation of the rules.
