Hi, before you look at tax reliefs, you should consider if you have foreign tax liabilities. I assume you are employed. Did your employer get tax advice before sending you to work abroad? What country/ies do you spend time in , how much time? Do you receive extra pay or allowances for going abroad? What are these?
This is actually a very complex situation.

It is possible to get relief but the period of work outside the country is measured in minimum periods of 2 weeks. So working abroad from Mon to Fri will not qualify you for the relief.
