Working From Home

Is it £6 hard cash or £6 on your tax code?

 

Tax code

 

so depending on tax level worth between £0-£3 per week. Those on 20% band would be £1.20 a week

 

That's too knowledgeable and numbery for me
I claimed £6 per tax relief, and got it.

 

basically you only pay tax at 20 per cent depending on income so the actual relief you get is 1.20 per week in your pocket

 

Can it be backdated to March?

 

Yes

 

so your tax code changes by different amount depending on your current coding?

I thought it was like the allowance for laundering your uniform in certain jobs. Mine gives me an allowance of £60 which changes my tax code by 60. The back dated payment for 5 years was £60, £12 a year at 20% tax rate

 

An extra 1.20 in your take home pay. 6 onto your tax code does not equal 6 pound in your take home pay. It just means you can earn an extra 6 quid without it being taxed

 

Youve lost me on that one That would be 7.20 in his pocket

 

Plus 4 previous tax years I think so if you worked at home before

 

No but for the expense I'm saving in commuting I'm not really interested in claiming anything.

 

Are we all back at home then?

 

I am today because it's my day off!

No chance of me working from home, so it's the same routine for me as it has been since March, socially distanced working from the office.

I thought the roads yesterday on my commute both ways were just normal, so I think a lot more must be working at their normal workplace than last March.

 

We went back into the office in September but have been back to working from home since October!

 

I can’t work from home. But my better hasn’t stepped foot into her office since last March, and probably won’t till this May. Saved a fortune in fuel, as she’s probably only driven her car three times since, but I’m dreading the gas and electric bill coming through after this cold snap.
