Hi
I am a self employed (sole trader) IT contractor. Last year I got an IT contract in Dublin (living in West) and travelled up Sunday and returned Thursday or Friday to west. My accountant now doing my returns and has informed me that I should not be claiming expenses for rent and food. Is he correct in this? If this is the case I will have spent a very hard year and a half working away from home and by my calculation be lucky to have made the minimum wage? How do other contractors survive if this is the case? Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks
