Working From Home Allowance

Save up to £62/yr

What is it?

If you regularly work from home, you can claim a flat rate of £6 per week (£312 per year) for additional household costs, giving tax relief of £62 at the basic rate or £125 at the higher rate.

Who is eligible?

You must work from home regularly as part of your job (not by choice). Your employer must not already reimburse your home-working expenses.

How to claim

Apply online via the GOV.UK portal for the current tax year, or claim through your Self Assessment tax return.
