    Overseas accommodation and commuting

    I'm working as a sole trader in Europe, paying local taxes, and I'm about to fill in a UK tax return. I'm hoping to get back the UK taxes I paid during my first 6 months as I also had to pay local taxes for that period once I stayed longer than 6 months.
    Can I deduct accommodation and commuting costs from the foreign income that I include on my tax return? I'm paying over £1k a month in rent and this could make quitea difference.

    Or can someone recommend an accountant who knows about UK and Finnish tax laws?
