WFH Tax Relief & Maternity Leave

[PurplePansy05]

Hi All

I wonder if anyone can help. I am due to go off on maternity leave this summer. I know for those who need to WFH there is a tax relief available on HMRC website, which I've claimed for last year. However, what happens with regard to 2021/2022, can I still claim it starting from next month if I will only be working for 4 to 6 months of the upcoming financial year (at least part of it will be WFH)?

TIA!

Bump, anyone?

If you work one day from home in the tax year you can claim the allowance.

Thanks @MollysMummy2010, is there any info on this on gov.uk or at least Martin Lewis lol, I've been looking everywhere and couldn't find it 🤦🏼‍♀️ xx

Actually, not sure if they have released for 21/22 yet - will need to check after April 5th but I have heard that the exemption may stand.

It's on MSE now @PurplePansy05
Just been released I think and still only need to work one day in the current (21/22) tax year to claim so you will be fine. Trying to paste link but I am a bit rubbish..probably not clicky but is on the MSE homepage.

Oh thanks so much @MollysMummy2010! That's brilliant 🙏💐 xx

Just did mine and it took about 30 seconds @PurplePansy05 once I was in the website. Good luck with the baby!

Just did mine too (you can tell how well I am sleeping these days lol). Thank you 💐 xx
