Remote Working: Tax Allowances

Asked by Mr Gregory CampbellDemocratic Unionist PartyTreasuryTabled Answered 15 May 2025UIN 51306

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many and what proportion of people claiming tax relief for working from home between March 2022 and March 2024, have been found to be ineligible for such tax relief.

Answered by James Murray

Work related expenses claims can be submitted by various methods. Due to high volumes of claims, it is not possible to produce data on claims that were found to be ineligible for a specific expense.


We are encouraging customers to check they are eligible for expenses before they claim through our "Don't Get Caught Out" campaign and have introduced a new evidence requirement from 14 October 2024.
