Hotel cost at primary place of work

Hi One of my employees is choosing to move further away from our office, and has requested hybrid working (3 days in the office and 2 days at home each week). We have agreed to pay for his hotel cost two days per week to allow him to work full days in the office and reduce the number of long commutes he has to do each week. Would this reimbursement of hotel bookings be a taxable benefit and reportable through his P11D? Many Thanks

Hi Lynn D,
Yes, from what you have described the choice of the longer commute has been a choice from the employee and would be classed as normal commute.
However, if you contact our Employers: general enquiries Tel 0300 200 3200 so we can discuss the matter in more detail.
