Before I suggest they call the HMRC helpline this evening, hopefully someone can assist, thanks.

Helping someone with their online SA. Fairly straightforward and all completed, except one issue:

They receive a Home Office Allowance from their employer, which is added to their Salary each month and taxed. They have been advised that under agreement between HMRC and Employer, they are entitled to tax relief on part of same.

Regarding their SA, to get the agreed agreed tax relief they have been told by Employer they need to "... tick box on the self assessment to confirm you are contractually expected to work from home" and enter agreed figure.

Now, I am not 'seeing' such a box/section on their form (maybe my glasses need cleaned ). Wondering if, when 'tailoring' their form, they should have ticked/answered yes to something they haven't, that would then provide a page with the box mentioned above.

I've checked the HMRC SA102 Guide and SA102 Notes pages, but don't see anything appropriate there either.

    Page Income for (employer name)
    Last box Do you wish to claim any employment expenses...... {Say YES}
    New page appears next called "Employment Expenses"

    I'd use the "other" box
    The only thing that is constant is change.
