Business mileage allowance

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but I suppose it's a benefit. My permanent place of work is approx 120 miles from my home, and we use a mileage calculator that deducts the normal commute distance from travel to sites, airports etc. If I stay at a hotel by my office, then travel to a client site from there, then back at the end of the day, can I claim for that, or do I still need to deduct my normal commute distance?

    Deduct your normal commute. Where you live in relation to the office is your choice.
