I live in Cork but my job is based in Dublin. I go up Tuesday, stay in a B&B Tuesday and Wednesday and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I get no assistance from my employer to reflect this. Is it possible to claim the cost of the B&B and travel against my PAYE taxes.
 
No. Travel and accomodation expenses are only legit where you have to work away from your normal office. Travel to and from your normal place of work isn't covered.
 
Thanks Berni, Not the answer I was looking for. Thought I might have some comeback similar to people who buy annual travelpasses for the trains and buses.
