No you can't claim the money back.
What makes you say that? the OP doesnt go into a lot of detail
OP, what does your contract say about your place of work? do you have an office that you are required to attend? Do you have to buy your own tools to work with? Are you paid via payroll? ie do you get the same amount each month and have a pension from your employer? Do you have a manager? Or, are you paid per job you do?0 -
Seems odd set up, if you are PAYE then I'd have thought you can claim reasonable expenses, depends what your contract says - perhaps your salary is paid at a level to include the hardship of moving round. I thought most fencers though were self employed, which means you'd be able to offset a lot of your costs against tax - if you are, get an accountant.0

As above..id say a lot depends on how your employed.
Are you PAYE or Self employed.
Are you working on buildings sites and that kind of place,if so make friends with the forkie and ask him if he can give you a splash of Cherry for the van...bacon sarnie from the cafe does work wonders...;)0 -
I'll be happy to see the tax regulation or employment law that allows you to claim back the money for a caravan you bought. That's what makes me say that - there aren't any. If, and it's only if, the OP were self employed, then they may be able to offset some expenditure against taxes. Not claim them back. And not the cost of a caravan.
If self employed they could put through a reasonable amount as its his working accommodation,along with the up keep.
Plant ops who move around following next contract do.0 -
