I'm trying to claim a few weeks where I  had to work from home during Feb/March 2021. However the Gov website only starts at 2021/22. Any suggestions please? ree

    I'll move this to the tax board.

    You've missed the boat.  You had 4 complete tax years to make such a claim.  That window ended on 5 April 2025.

    Correct, of course. But why does it say?

    Select a tax year. You will be able to claim for other tax years and employments later on in the form. 

    Wouldn’t it be better to say ‘other than the one that you have chosen’?

    Nothing like confusing the issue!
