I am going to be working in France next year for 12 weeks for my UK employer. I will be still be paid through PAYE and will receive a per diem payed into my salary, which will be subject to tax and NI.

Am I entitled to claim any tax breaks and/or national insurance contributions relief?

In addition, can i calim any tax back on living expenses?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Bryan

I doubt there are any tax or NI breaks on your salary, but tax relief on something like reasonable hotel bills could well be claimed. Keep all receipts.
