For the purpose of regulation 9 and regulation 11 an amount in respect of the travelling costs of the relevant person shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions of this Schedule if the relevant person—
has travelling costs; and
provides the information required to enable the amount of the allowance to be determined.
Subject to paragraphs 21 to 23, where the relevant persons has one relevant employment and is normally required to attend at only one work place in the course of that employment the amount to be allowed in respect of travelling costs shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 4 to 7 below.
There shall be calculated or, if this is impracticable, estimated—
the straight-line distance between the relevant person’s home and his work place;
the number of journeys between the relevant person’s home and this work place which he makes during a period comprising a whole number of weeks which appears to the
The results of the calculation or estimate produced by sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph 4 shall be multiplied by the result of the calculation or estimate required by sub-paragraph (b) of that paragraph.
The product of the multiplication required by paragraph 5 shall be divided by the number of weeks in the period.
Where the result of the division required by paragraph 6 is less than or equal to
Subject to sub-paragraph (2) and paragraphs 21 to 23 below, where the relevant person has one relevant employment but attends at more than one work place the amount to be allowed in respect of travelling costs for the purposes of regulations 9 and 11 shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 9 to

and the provision of paragraphs 9 to
For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(b) there shall be disregarded any day upon which the relevant person attends at a work place and in order to travel to or from that work place he undertakes a journey in respect of which—
the travelling costs are borne wholly or in part by the relevant employer; or
the relevant employer provides transport for any part of the journey for the use of the relevant person,
and where he attends at more than one work place on the same day that day shall be disregarded only if the condition specified in this sub-paragraph is satisfied in respect of all the work places at which he attends on that day,
There shall be calculated, or if that is impracticable, estimated—
the straight-line distances between the relevant person’s home and each work place; and
the straight-line distances between each of the relevant person’s work places, other than those between which he does not ordinarily travel.
Subject to paragraph 11, there shall be calculated for each pair of places referred to in paragraph 9 the number of journeys which the relevant person makes between them during a period comprising a whole number of weeks which appears to the
For the purposes of the calculation required by paragraph 10 there shall be disregarded—
any pair of journeys between the same work place and the relevant person’s home where the first journey is from his work place to his home and the time which elapses between the start of the first journey and the conclusion of the second is not more than two hours; and
any journey in respect of which—
the travelling costs are borne wholly or in part by the relevant employer; or
the relevant employer provides transport for any part of the journey for the use of the relevant person.
The result of the calculation of the number of journeys made between each pair of places required by paragraph 10 shall be multiplied by the result of the calculation or estimate of the straight-line distance between them required by paragraph 9.
All the products of the multiplications required by paragraph 12 shall be added together and the resulting sum divided by the number of weeks in the period.
Where the result of the division required by paragraph 13 is less than or equal to
Subject to sub-paragraph (2) and paragraphs 21 to 23, where the relevant person has more than one relevant employment the amount to be allowed in respect of travelling costs for the purposes of regulations 9 and 11 shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 16 to 20.
Where it appears that in respect of any of his relevant employments, whilst the relevant person works at more than one work place, his pattern or work is not sufficiently regular to enable the calculations of the amount to be allowed in respect of his travelling costs to be made readily, the
may select a place which is either one of the relevant person’s work places in that relevant employment or some other place which is connected with that relevant employment;
may calculate the weekly average distance travelled in the course of his journeys made in connection with the relevant employment upon the basis that—
the relevant person makes one journey from his home, or from another work place or deemed work place in another relevant employment, to the deemed work place and one journey from the deemed work place to his home, or to another work place or deemed work place in another relevant employment, on each day on which he attends at a work place in connection with the relevant employment in relation to which the deemed work place has been selected, and

the straight-line distances between the relevant person’s home and each work place; and

those between which he does not ordinarily travel, and
those for which a calculation of the distance from the relevant person’s home is not required by virtue of paragraph 15(c).
Subject to paragraph 17A, there shall be calculated, or if that is impracticable estimated, for each pair of places referred to in paragraph 16 between which straight-line distances are required to be calculated or estimated, the number of journeys which the relevant person makes between them during a period comprising a whole number of weeks which appears to the
For the purposes of the calculation required by paragraph 17, there shall be disregarded—
any pair of journeys between the same work place and his home where the first journey is from his work place to his home and the time which elapses between the start of the first journey and the conclusion of the second is not more than two hours; and

All the products of the multiplications required by paragraph 18, shall be added together and the resulting sum divided by the number of weeks in the period.
Where the result of the division required by paragraph 19, plus where appropriate the result of the calculation required by paragraph 15 in respect of a relevant employment in which a deemed work place has been selected, is less than or equal to
No allowance shall be made in respect of travelling costs in respect of journeys between the relevant person’s home and his work place or between his work place and his home in a particular relevant employment if the condition set out in paragraph 22 or 23 is satisfied in respect of that employment.

The conditions is that relevant employer provides transport of any description in connection with the employment which is available to the relevant person for any part of the journey between his home and his work place or between his work place or between his work place and his home.
The condition is that the relevant employer bears any part of the travelling costs arising from the relevant person travelling between his home and his work place or between his work place and his home in connection with that employment, and for the purposes of this paragraph he does not bear any part of that cost where he does no more than—
make a payment to the relevant person which would fail to be taken into account in determining the amount of the relevant person’s net income;
