Working From Home Tax Rebate
Claim back the years you were required to work from home
If your employer required you to work from home, you could claim tax relief on the extra household costs — heating, electricity and business calls. The relief was scrapped from 6 April 2026, but you can still backdate a claim for the years you qualified, up to and including 2025/26. The four-year window means the earliest years are dropping off soon.
What Are The Criteria To Qualify For Working From Home Tax Relief?
✔ Your employer required you to work from home (not your own choice)
✔ Your employer had no office, or it lacked the facilities you needed
✔ You paid extra household costs such as heating, electricity or broadband
✔ Your employer did not reimburse those costs
How Much Can You Claim For Working From Home?
For the years it applied, you could claim a flat rate of £6 a week (£312 a year) with no receipts needed, or a share of your actual extra costs if higher. Claims can cover any qualifying year up to 2025/26, going back up to four tax years — so even a couple of past years soon add up. We work out exactly what you’re owed.
Who Can Claim Working From Home Tax Relief?
✔ Employees told by their employer to work from home
✔ People whose employer had no suitable workplace
✔ Anyone who paid extra household costs for required home working and wasn’t reimbursed
✔ Claims cover qualifying periods up to 5 April 2026 only

home-working tax rebate FAQs
Can I claim if my employer washes my home-working?

Do I need receipts?
For the flat-rate home-working allowance you don’t need receipts. For higher actual costs or equipment, keep them.

Usually the last four tax years, and your tax code can be adjusted so you pay less going forward.

No rebate, no fee. If we secure a refund we charge 37.5% + VAT (minimum £50).
