Hi
I know you can claim an allowance for working from home during the pandemic. For the 20-21 tax year is it £6/week and can you claim the whole amount even if you worked from home for part of the time or is that for this year?
Presuming its £6 x 52 weeks to get the total for the year?
Cheers
To clarify, you claim for £6 a week and you are refunded the tax on that amount. For basic rate taxpayer it's about £124 for a full year.
You can claim for more, but would have to submit a return with details/proof of allowable expenditure.
You can claim for year's 2020/21 and 2021/21, even if you only worked from home for one day during each year due to the pandemic.
It's really easy to do and will take you five minutes maximum. I did mine in December and got an extra £200 in this months pay.
