Working from Home Allowance

« Back to Glossary Index

The Working from Home Allowance lets employees and the self-employed claim tax relief for additional household costs incurred while working from home. This can include things like heating, electricity, and broadband. There’s a standard flat rate, or you can claim actual costs with evidence—helping offset the extra expenses that come with remote work.
