STEP: The actor Tim Healy has lost his claim for tax relief on a flat he rented while working away from home. Healy, who lives in Cheshire, was cast in the West End musical Billy Elliott for nine months during the 2005-06 tax year. He decided to rent a flat in London for the period. The GBP875 weekly cost of renting the flat was comparable to that of staying in a hotel or similar accommodation, and also allowed him extra room for practice and coaching. He never intended to make London his home.
