You cannot claim for your regular commute to and your main place of work, but any trips that you undertake as part of you fulfilling your business obligations will likely be eligible.
Example A
You are an engineer based in Nottinghamshire, and are asked by your manager to travel to a supplier in Bedford to inspect a new machine. You will usually be entitled to claim for this journey, because the Bedford site is only a temporary place of work.
Example B
You are an Accounts Manager for a retailer living in Bristol, and drive to the office each day in Bath. You will not be able to claim for this journey, because it is part of your regular commute to work.
Example C
You are a Buyer for a national supermarket chain with a permanent office in London. You spend a few days each week visiting suppliers from around the UK, often travelling directly from your home address in Cambridge. You’ll generally be entitled to claim the full distance of travel to suppliers, but not the journeys into the London office, as this constitutes ordinary commuting.
