    You cannot claim for your partner's costs, or your costs to help her do her job.

    You are taxed separately....

    I assume you're not married as you said 'partner', but if you ever do tie the knot, she'll then be able to transfer a portion of her unused tax allowance to yourself to reduce the income tax you pay.
