Where did you hear about this limit? It would be great to see a revenue leaflet with the guidelines.I think there is a time limit someone recently told me 6 months.
Thank you for the links, Graham. I have seen these leaflets already and they do not really answer my questions. These guidelines mostly deal with reimbursement of the expenses incurred by an employee on an occasional travel on business. My case is different, so I am hoping to get an advise from someone who has similar experience, or/and understands the legislation well.Revenue issue the following leaflets :-
Motoring expenses
[broken link removed]
Subsistence expenses

Hope these are of help
What's your source for this, capall? The [broken link removed] refers to 'place of work', not 'place of registration of company'.If you have a company and it is registered in cork where you live then that is your normal place of work ,regardless of whether you ever work at that location
Hi BOC_ARDEE,IT Contractor also. I was claiming mileage to and from work. Was great as it was working out about 5k a year in expenses!!. But then I had to pay it all back as I found out I was in the wrong!!
Any source for this?When you are contracting through a limited company ,your registered office is your place of work. Revenue will not argue with you on this.
Claiming for travel to/from your daily place of work on a long term contract does not seem like genuine travel to me.But in these cases revenue are usually reasonable once you are genuinely travelling .

Well, because it is your daily place of work. The spirit of the Revenue approach is clearly to allow expenses for legitimate travel above and beyond that of a typical employee. Travel to/from your daily place of work in a long-term contract is certainly against the spirit of the regulations.Claiming for travel to/from your daily place of work on a long term contract does not seem like genuine travel to me
Why not ?
Just as most employees would love to have work in their home town or work from home, but this is not always an option. Why should contractors get special treatment for their travel expenses.That is the nature of contract work,most IT contractors would love to have work in their home town or to be able to work from home but this is not always an option
Do you have a source for this? When is your 'normal place of work' not the place where you normally work?So the clients business premises would not be regarded as the normal place of work.
