I homework irrespective of Covid restrictions.
My employer does pay two components towards extra costs for WFH:
£7 per month (£1.62 per week) towards broadband costs, which is taxable.
£11 per month (£2.54 per week) towards other home working expenses, which is non-taxable.
Combined, this is £4.16 per week.
IF I decided to claim tax relief (and I may not) is it based on the difference between £6 per week and both components at £4.16?
Or,
Is it based on the difference between £6 per week and just the non-taxable £2.54?
For some reason I’m going round in circles and confusing myself with this - the taxable and non-taxable bits!!!
Can I claim for previous tax years? I know prior years were limited to £4 per week, so this largely depends on what I am supposed to declare.
I was going to call HMRC today for advice, but they’re closed.
Many thanks.
