Working From Home Tax Relief

Millions of us have been working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If you’ve been working remotely, your household bills might have increased over the past few months – and you may even have had to invest in a new broadband connection to support your work. The good news is that you may be able to claim tax relief to help cover the extra cost.

The Government’s working from home allowance scheme began in October 2021 and has already had an impressive uptake: in the first six weeks alone, more than one million people applied to HMRC. In this WKM guide, we explain who is eligible for the new tax relief, the amount you could claim, and how to claim it.
