WORKING FROM HOME DURING THE PANDEMIC?

AM I ELIGIBLE?

You can claim if all of the following apply -

• You were told to work from home by your employer

• Have not been re-imbursed by your employer for your expenses

• Do not file a tax return

Even if you worked from home for 1 day, you are still eligible to claim.

HOW MUCH IS THIS WORTH?

This depends on the rate at which you pay tax.

Basic rate payers will get £62 per year.
