VerifiedHi Jack
Thanks for your question
This I am afraid is treated as home to work and home to work so is taxable, and even the flights would be taxable - as this is not wholly and exclusively in the performance of your duties, but merely the cost to travel to and from work.
The only travel that is not taxable is that incurred throughout the working day as part of your job itself.
Thanks
Sam

Hi
Thanks for your response and I am sorry the news is not more favourable.
In response to your question, I am afraid so - as even a project that creates a pattern such as this, with working there each week amounts to treatment of work to home costs - which remain taxable.
The only time they can be paid as non taxable if the placement is of a short term temporary placement (when there already exists a normal place of work) or if for the purposes of works itself - such as travel to see clients or occasional travel for business meetings.
Thanks
Sam
