Yes, in principle, but it depends on your own circumstances.

Sounds fine

Based on the info you have supplied, this is probably OK. So long as the travel and hotel accommodation are purely work related, this sounds fine.

Why wouldn't it be okay?

Perhaps he falls foul of the 40% or 24 month rules? Perhaps he has his family staying there so it isn't just for business? Perhaps he lives within a couple of miles of the hotel but he's living there while his house is being repaired?

Ah, I only knew it as 24 months, didn't know about the 40% too

Nothing is every simple with HMRC

And the 40% part is only relevant if one will be at a temporary work place (or expected to be) for 24 months or more? Si? Non?
