It's unfortunate if that is the case. But if I were to stay in B&Bs or hotels, these are legitimate business expenses, which also shorten my commute.
Op is you base in cork? If so you should be entitled to civil service subsistence rates.
It is always important to establish where you were engaged to work. Check revenue.ie for IT54.

IT 54 will work IMO, at the very least you could ask ur Revenue office.
The test is where is the normal place of operation , this is NOT the customer office in Dublin.
Afrer all he could always commute!
It is important to differentiate between tax free expenses claimed by the employee and tax deductible expenses incurred by the company
When you think about it, you would otherwise be getting an unfair advantage over a similar person who lives and works in Dublin. They are not entitled to a deduction for their private accomodation so why would you be?
Hi guys
Thanks very much to all of you for the information. My situation is that this project requires a certain amount of hands on time at the customer site, but a considerable amount of off-site R&D - which will be done from Cork.
I was trying to go the route of renting a small apartment vs. commuting + hotels/B*Bs as the apartment was turning out about 35% cheaper. Does the fact that my primary place of work is split (likely 50:50 or very close) mean that I can leverage IT54?
Thanks in advance
