2015 No. 1948 INCOME TAX The Income Tax (Approved Expenses) Regulations 2015 come into force on 21st December 2015.

You can only get tax relief on the cost of business journeys. These are when, as part of your job:

you have to travel from one workplace to another – this includes travelling between your main ‘permanent workplace’ and a temporary workplace
you’ve got to travel to or from a certain workplace because your job requires you to

But business journeys don’t include:

ordinary commuting – when you travel between your home (or anywhere that is not a workplace) and a place which counts as a permanent workplace
private journeys – which have nothing to do with your job
