Why are you so bothered that my original post was not relevant regarding costs of commuting and tax relief?PollyEsther said:lincroft1710 said:
I never said anything about the costs of commuting and tax relief, it was the saving the OP would be making by not commuting!PollyEsther said:lincroft1710 said:
So you are saving on tyre and brake block wear. Plus not being subject to the dangers of maniacs on 4 wheels cutting you up. Also, unlike the majority of those on furlough you are (or should be) receiving 100% of your salary.w00519773 said:

There's nothing relevant here as the costs of commuting to and from a place of employment do not qualify for tax relief.
I never said you said anything about the costs of commuting and tax relief! I said that there was nothing in your post about the savings on (not) commuting which was relevant to the original post because the original post was about the matter of tax relief on home expenses - an entirely different subject!If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0 -

If you're content to take the thread off-topic and compare apples with oranges so be it. You're not the first and no doubt won't be the last.
