Travelling expenses-eligible for tax relief?

Employee assigned to new venue for exactly 2 years (evidence held)-can tax relief be claimed?

Didn't find your answer?

A client, who is employed by Her Majestys Court Service, as a judge had been temporarily assigned to a new venue for a period of 2 years.  He worked at this new venue in addition to the venue he'd historically worked at.  After 23 months, he received a letter extending the assignment.  

His employer has been paying for his travel but taxing him on it.

Can we make a claim on the tax return for this as 'job expenses' up until the 23 month period (at which point he would know the 2 year temporary workplace rule would not then be met)??  

He advises that a colleague had questioned this with this employer and now only gets taxed on sums paid for travelling to 1 venue.

Thanks for any thoughts.

If only there was some official guidance on Employment Income. Maybe a Manual or something.
