EIM32356 - Travel expenses: travel in the performance of the duties: home to work travel

Section 337 ITEPA 2003

The Courts have established as a clear general principle that the cost of travelling from an employee바카라 사이트™s home to his or her normal place of work is not travel in the performance of the duties, see EIM31650. The expense merely puts the employee into a position to perform his or her duties.

The cases that have established this principle are:

Cook v Knott 2TC246
Revell v Directors of Elworthy Bros & Co Ltd 3TC12
Andrews v Astley 8TC589
Ricketts v Colquhoun 10TC118, see EIM31641
Nolder v Walters 15TC380
Burton v Rednall 35TC435
Parikh v Sleeman 63TC75, see EIM32360
Miners v Atkinson 68TC629, see EIM32380
Kirkwood v Evans 74TC481, see EIM32374

  • travel from home to a temporary workplace, see EIM32000
  • where the employee has a travelling appointment, see EIM32366
  • where the employee바카라 사이트™s home is a place of work and the place where the employee lives is dictated by the requirements of the job, see EIM32370
  • where the duties of the employment are carried out wholly or partly outside the UK, see EIM34020
  • where a non-domiciled employee is working in the UK, see EIM35030
  • emergency call-outs see EIM32386.
