The Rules Have Changed
During the pandemic, it was easy to claim relief even if you chose to work from home. Since April 2022, the rules are stricter. You can now only claim if your job requires you to live far from your office or your employer does not have an office.
⚠️ Note: You cannot claim if you choose to work from home, even if your employment contract says you can.
What You Can Claim
If eligible, you can claim tax relief on £6 a week (approx. £26 a month) without needing to keep receipts.
- • Basic Rate (20%): Save £1.20/week (~£62/year)
- • Higher Rate (40%): Save £2.40/week (~£124/year)
- • Additional Rate (45%): Save £2.70/week (~£140/year)
