Can I get tax relief for travel and other expenses?

As I'm only working there 20-30% of the time its seems it would be considered a temporary workplace.

There is also a "habitual" dimension which has recently been established. I.e. if you always go to Office Z on Mondays - it's under the 40% but it's still classed as a permanent workplace and travel not allowable.

interesting - do you have a link for that pennywise as it would be really useful in the context of one of our clients who is arguing the same as the OP

It was a case referred to in a tax update course a few months ago. I'll try to find it in the course notes when I'm back in the office.

From the link in #9

The proportion of an employee’s working time spent at a particular workplace is a factor in determining whether or not it is treated as a permanent workplace, but it is not the only factor. Even if the employee attends the workplace only on one or two days a week, if it is on a regular basis, the workplace may still be a permanent workplace. It is possible for an employee to have 2 or more permanent workplaces. The employee will not be entitled to tax relief for the costs incurred in travelling from home to any of the permanent workplaces (go to paragraph 3.29).
