I cannot work from home so what tax relief will I get, shouldn’t I get the same as those working from home? I travel 50 miles a day and pay for parking I work 37.5 hours a week and continue to do so , what relief is there for me?

Presumably it's your choice to live that distance from work.  Move closer if it's an issue,

I didn’t say it was an issue read the post I said what tax relief will I get

What tax relief do you think you should get?

You will (probably) be charged no income tax on the first £12500 of your earnings.

I think it would be fair to give those going into work the same tax benefits as those working from home

Your getting no extra tax relief. Get on with it and work and be lucky you have a job.

It's an extra £1.20 a week for a basic rate taxpayer (hardly even worth arguing about) and is for the extra work expenses you incur whilst working from home, for example using your own electricity to power a company laptop or using more gas, water etc

I have always though you should be able to reclaim some a small element of fuel tax for going to work, especially in rural areas where there is no public transport. I worked for the NHS and we were relocated and got a small fuel allowance for the extra mileage - and never mind getting tax relief, it was actually taxable!
And the NHS has lots of staff working from home too - a lot of the NHS staff is admin and clerical and being done from home, yes frontline staff cannot WFH.
