WFH allowance and claiming mileage

carlh1982

Hello,

looking for some advice. I claimed the £312 WFH allowance last year as I was working from home and still am until later on this year. As lockdown eased, I was required to go back out on the road using my own car. I have submitted an expenses claim for roughly £1,800 to the HMRC but didn’t even think if I could do this as the same time as claiming the WFH.

Is it okay to claim both the WFH allowance and an expenses claim for mileage in the same year?

Why wouldn't it be?

You could be WFH some of the time and travelling to temporary workplaces at other times?

If both are valid claims then I don't see much of an issue.

My first assumption was you can but who knows with HMRC. Turns out you can because I got my refund about 20 minutes after asking the question.

Thanks for responding though, much appreciated.
