There is quite a useful guide by Martin Lewis on how to claim here:
https://blog.moneysavingexpert.com/2020/04...im-p6-wk-/ I will be claiming the £6/week tax relief which doesn't require any proof. It isn't much but seems fair, especially as our company has been quite generous throughout anyway. Not sure of your scenario but you might have other significant costs which warrant higher claims but he covers that too.

As an employee of another company, use of home (£6) is about all you get. Bear in mind that to get tax relief of other stuff, it needs to be wholly for your work. If something is just for your work, your employer should be providing - Catch 22.

I've worked from home as a perk for a long time, although it is compulsory at the moment. I tried to claim the £6/month maybe five years ago and it was kicked back as I was not forced to work at home, but did it by choice and have the option to go to an office, which is fair enough I suppose.
I might try again now, but what happens when lock down eases and home working ceases or becomes optional again? Assume people will be expected to declare their return to work and start paying the £6 again. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS |

Oh - didn't know that. I've always worked a long way from any office, so not had a problem.
Currently, I'm self-employed via my own Ltd. I claim the £6, but pay half of it back as a contribution to using broadband for personal use too. |
