Have Your Employees Been Working From Home Due to COVID-19?

HMRC have sent an email out this week saying that employees may be able to claim tax relief on additional household expenses that they have incurred as a result of working from home due to COVID-19. As of the 6th April 2020, this tax relief is based on £6 per week or £26 per month (£4 per week, or £18 per month prior to 6th April 2020).

To check their eligibility, they will need to visit this page: https://www.gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees/working-at-home and if they’re deemed eligible they will receive their entitlement through an alteration to their tax code.
