Working from home allowance

0 replies

I'm confused.
I work from home. Part of that is self-employment (I do self assessment), and part is employment.
Can I claim working from home expenses for both? So with self-employment, there's a modest fixed amount you can include as expenses to cover utility bills. It's based on how many hours you work. Can I claim this, plus the weekly amount (fixed amount last tax year due to Covid) tax allowance for working from home as an employee? I can't ask my employer about this - they're useless.
I spoke to HMRC, but they said they didn't know. I also asked the tax credits people, who also said they didn't know, so I don't know whether I count this when calculating income for tax credit purposes.
Any help much appreciated.
