    Not usually...Speak with your HR department. Clarify directly with a HMRC enquiry centre for your circumstances. Generally if you got the money to pay out on expenses related to this move then it's not taxable.

    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p

    Surely it would just be for the cost of commuting to the normal place of work, and therefore taxable? :cool:
