Working from home

jennyowen

Does anyone know if there are any tax implications to working 2 days a week from home. I work full time for my employer but 2 days a week are from home. Just wondered if there are any tax implications to this. Only asking as recently got £250 back fromt eh tax man as I have to wash my own corporate clothing and there's a £40 tax deduction, nice!!

Several of my colleagues work from home but I've never heard them mention that there is a tax implication - why should there be? Tax is related to salary earned and any associated perks.
However you do need to inform your insurance company.

My understanding would be that any salary is taxable.
Therefore it does not matter whether you are working from home, an office or building site, you are still eligible to pay tax on any income through employment.

So if your employer pays you £xxx.xx for working as a whole (onsite and home) then I would assume tax would be deducted at source accordingly, without you having to declare anything additional?

Given what you say, there would be no tax relief for working from home as you have chosen to do so, rather than it being necessary because you cannot do the work at your employer's premises.
