Back to the topic in terms of travel what would be classed as your normal place of work (travel to this being exempt from mileage claims for tax purposes). I was advised once by a tax inspector that I could claim the mileage and parking fees for my travel as a selfemployed person to an office for up to two years beyond which I would be considered employed at that office and the tax office would start looking at the employer as they would be obviously avoiding additional employers taxes they should be paying. The work was truely self employed as I negotiated rates, hours and days and had other work running in parallel. I do wonder if one of the main advantages for selfemployed diggers could be the claiming of travel expenses.
