If HMRC choose not to pay £6 a week to employees who save more by not commuting, that is up to them (depending on what is the contract of employment), although my bet is they don't pay people more when they work from HMRC premises because their commuting costs are higher! What they cannot do is prevent employees who are not paid the allowance from claiming the tax relief.

I work for HMRC and given I only pay something like 67p a month tax I obviously didn’t bother. It just seems an awful lot of hassle for £6!

It's only £6 if your employer pays it.

Claiming from HMRC (as the tax authority, not as your employer) would only save you 67p/month.

I thought the allowance was £6/week so a tax saving of £1.20/week (if the tax free allowance has already been used up).

How can they save £1.20 a week in tax when they only pay 67p in tax a month? 😉

They arent going to refund her more than she actually pays.
