I worked from home due to coronavirus from 19th March up until my maternity leave started on 25th May. Can I still claim the tax relief even though I’m now getting maternity allowance from my employer and smp?

You can claim the WFH tax relief on £6, so £1.20 per week, for the weeks you worked from home, you can not claim for the period you are/were on maternity leave.0

HMRC have accepted that if you spent a single day in 2020/21 working from home on the instruction of your employer, you can claim for the whole year.
