Hi. My son who is working from home is hoping to work from a room in our home instead of his own - his being unsuitable for various reasons. Is anyone clued-up enough to know the tax position for that, ie would he or we be able to claim tax relief for the heating/lighting/internet etc? Thanks.

How much is he paying you?

Nothing - I'm helping my son and not looking to take any money. As for what will it cost me - additional energy bills for his employer's business to be conducted there rather than on their own premises. If there are no standard 'x% of specific bills' for example that can be claimed by me as tax relief, that's fine, I just felt it worth asking if anyone knew.

Many thanks for coming back. IMO and I stand to be corrected, if you are already at home during those times and have the heating on, the only real item he can claim for is electric, ie laptop use and i guess not the phone and as it is daylight hours he won't need the ight switched on most of the time.

I hope someone is able to help and you were correct in raising the question

Good luck.
