Time is running out for you to claim cash available to everyone who worked at home in 2020-22 - and you might qualify for more if you are still working in your own home
When people were ordered to work from him during covid the government stepped in to help with bills. It ruled that anyone who worked from home for a single day could claim a tax allowance for the whole year.
This ran for two tax years - 2020/21 and 2021/22 - and meant over that period people could have an extra £280 in their pockets. But not everyone claimed the cash - and now, while you can still claim some of the money, time is running out. Under government rules you can claim back four tax years, as long as the claim is in before the end of the financial year. This means people can still claim for the 2021/22 year - and you do not need any evidence to show you were working from home.
The rules changed in the 22/23 tax year but anyone who is forced to work from home rather than choosing it could still qualify for a rebate, according to the government website. While the rules are much stricter than before it is easy to see if you qualify and to make a claim if you do.According to the gov.uk website people might be able to claim tax relief for additional household costs if they have to work at home for all or part of the week.
If you pay the 20% basic rate of tax and claim tax relief on £6 a week, you would get £1.20 per week in tax relief . You’ll usually get tax relief through a change to your tax code. You can claim for this tax year and the 4 previous tax years.
