I have tried to search for this myself but the guidance is a little confusing so I wondered if anyone here may know

Like a lot of people, I was sent to WFH for a long period during the lockdowns and I applied for the tax relief that you get for WFH.  I went back to the office in April this year, so my tax code was altered back to what it should normally be.  However since early August i have been WFH again and this looks set to continue for some weeks yet, maybe longer.

My question is simply can I re-apply for the tax relief again?

    If you WFH - you can claim a proportion of your mortgage interest, gas/electric bill within your tax return. Your accountant can advise how to calculate it. Straight forward calculation
