Does my IR35 Status Affect my Ability to Claim Expenses?

Yes. Working through your Limited Company (PSC) when captured by IR35 prevents you from claiming travel and related subsistence costs.


Once you have been captured by IR35, HMRC consider your worksite to be permanent in nature. You are a commuter, which means that you are no longer entitled to claim tax relief on travel and subsistence. In effect you will be treated just like any permanent worker whilst working under that contract. However, you can still claim costs related to running your business such as accountancy fees.
