Thanks HMRC Admin. So is it a temporary workplace? To give an example. I don't have permanent employment. Today Bob phones in sick so I go to work at hospital A, 100 miles from my house for one day. Can I tax deduct travel? Another example. I don't have permanent employment. Joanna goes on maternity leave for eight months, so I go to work at hospital B, 80 miles from my house. Can I tax deduct travel? Thank you.

Thanks @HMRC Admin 25, but I still don't understand. Are you saying that actually travel to and from a work place, as a locum, is "ordinary commuting" and as such not tax deductible? Because that directly contradicts the information given above. Posts can be anything from a day to many months - ie covering short term sickness or maternity leave or long term sickness. I do not have a permanent workplace. They are all temporary workplaces. Obviously I do not want to make an error with this. Many thanks

Hi HMRC Admin, I am also a locum. I am paid via PAYE and travel all over the UK. These are all temporary employments similar to the OP. Can I also tax deduct travel? Is this still ok with locums that last for more than one day, ie to cover sickness? Thank you
