HMRC also adds that: employees who have either returned to working in an office since early April or are preparing for their return can still claim the working from home tax relief and benefit from the full year\u2019s relief for the 2021 to 2022 tax year.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can either claim tax relief on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \u00a36 a week from 6 April 2020 (for previous tax years the rate is \u00a34 a week) – you will not need to keep evidence of your extra costs<\/li>\n
  • the exact amount of extra costs you\u2019ve incurred above the weekly amount – you\u2019ll need evidence such as receipts, bills or contracts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You\u2019ll get tax relief based on the rate at which you pay tax. For example, if you pay the 20% basic rate of tax and claim tax relief on \u00a36 a week you would get \u00a31.20 per week in tax relief (20% of \u00a36).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
