£6pw working from home tax credit

Can someone please tell me where on Gateway to see if I receive the £6pw WFH credit, and if not to apply for it? Thanks.

Only your employer can pay you £6/week 

Do you mean the tax relief on £6/week?

If so they your Personal Tax Account (assuming you don't complete Self Assessment returns).

DE_612183

it will be part of your tax code if you are employed

Yes, I mean the tax relief. So if tax code is 1257L does that mean it is not being applied? Is there a place on Gateway to see how the tax code is calculated (signposting to exactly where would be helpful) and if it is not applied, how do I get it applied please?

Yes, look at the PAYE section.

But most people won't qualify for WFH relief in the current tax year.

What do your 2020:21 and 2021:22 P60's show your tax code as?

1288L would be common for 2021:22 if Covid-19 WFH expenses were included.
