Martin Lewis: Working from home due to coronavirus, even for a day? Claim TWO years' worth of tax relief
IMPORTANT UPDATE 28 Jan 2022: Unconfirmed reports in the Telegraph suggest the Treasury may close the working-from-home tax rebate microsite, so employees can no longer claim a whole year's rebate if they've worked from home at any point, even for just a day in this or the last tax year – similar changes would likely affect self-assessment claims too. While there’s no date attached, for safety, if you haven't claimed yet and are eligible, read below and do it now...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are requires you to work from home, you've always been able to claim for
increased costs, eg, heat or electricity, for the specific time at home. Yet during
the 2020 lockdown,
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) launched a 'microservice' which, even if you only
needed to work from home for a day, allowed you to get a WHOLE year's tax relief.

Show your support for an NHS pay rise
Today, Thursday 1 April is #NHSPayDay. Put a colourful rainbow poster in your window to support a proper pay rise for all NHS workers.
UNISON has commissioned children's illustrators to design some templates to colour in – you can download them here!
People across the country are being asked to put colourful posters in their windows in support of a proper NHS pay rise, in a campaign launched today (Friday) by health unions representing more than a million health workers.
Fourteen unions – including UNISON, the Royal College of Nursing and the Royal College of Midwives – are urging households across the UK to show their appreciation for NHS workers with bright, hand-finished displays on Thursday 1 April.
The unions say this will show the public strength of feeling on the day NHS staff should have received a wage increase and be a welcome ‘thank you’ for all their tireless efforts over the past year to keep everyone safe.
