Working from home? How to save £125 by claiming tax relief
According to HMRC, around 800,000 employees who have been working from home during the pandemic, have already claimed tax relief on household related costs This saving is worth £125 a year for each employee and can go towards various costs which affect their ability to work their job from home. Eligible workers can claim the full year’s entitlement if they have been told to work from home by their employer.
A full year’s entitlement can even be claimed if the employee has only worked for only one day during the tax year.
However, WFH tax relief is not just available for people who are still stuck in their bedroom and home offices working away.
Workers who have either returned to the office since early April or are preparing for their return can still claim the working from home tax relief.
Getting this benefit could potentially give employees a £125 cash boost from the full year’s relief for the 2021 to 2022 tax year.
