I am sorry, but I need to explore travel costs a bit more
"Dr Samadian case where travel was disallowed because it was "regular and predictable" - though that said, Dr Samadian was working at the same place into perpetuity, so longer than 24 months".
My client has worked for 8 months in one place, then current year in another (10 months) and in a week leaving work for at least few month.
Appears travel costs can be claimed under itinerant ?
I saw another online thread advising what expenses to claim in the industry, and in there mentioned child care expenses are allowable. Is this correct ?
She's herself prefers to not to use the word "dancer" or similar etc. I realise travel is a difficult one and she would have to bear the cost. I was just trying to find a justification for claiming.
I myself think should be able to use word "entertainer" or "entertainment", however, another colleague mentioned cannot. My opinion is that this is an entertainment industry and using the classification "entertainment" is ok. Let HMRC come back. If they later enforce the change then let it be. There is no tax amount implication and hence possibly no penalty.
Re travel, she has only worked in the same location for approx 8 months, plus few other locations few days in this time. She finishes 4,5,6 am and always takes cab home. Gemma Daniels case did not mention late nights travel etc and was purely on the grounds that Gemma worked for one employer, one location over several years, plus it was based on travel home to work, case did not go into timings of travel.
Ah, so I am not the only one going crazy with this issue. From the last couple of days I have been trying to login to my personal gateway account and I am receiving the same error message. I have tried everything, log out, clear browse history, clear cookies but it is just not disappearing. I was resigning to letting it go for a week and then trying again.
My answers
Yes, thank you all.
I've had a go in trying to find a reason to claim travel costs in this specific case but appears cannot. So I accept.

Travel costs seem to be a discussion point with almost all clients, but, yes, it needs to be correct before claiming.
8 months in one palace for 2017/18, April 2018 to date another location, in couple of weeks time now leaving the work for a while.
Agree, generally child care are not allowed for self-employed (other than Ltd Company employees, under certain conditions).
I will check, thank you for advising.

Thank you for the reply Lesley.
