从2020年到2023年,英国对在家工作的税收减免申请下降了90%,仅涉及具体的工作费用,而不是租金或宽带费用。 UK tax relief claims for working from home dropped 90% from 2020 to 2023, covering only specific work costs, not rent or broadband.

HMRC的数据显示,离家打工的税收减免申请下降近90%,从2020/21年的268万降至2023/24年的30万。 HMRC data shows a near 90% drop in working-from-home tax relief claims, from over 2.68 million in 2020/21 to 300,000 by 2023/24. 由于工作需求(如离办公室的距离)而需要在家工作的工人可得到的救济只支付与工作有关的具体费用,如额外供暖或用电,而不是租金或宽带费。 The relief, available to workers required to work from home due to job demands like distance from the office, covers only specific work-related costs such as additional heating or electricity, not rent or broadband. 对于那些选择远程工作或雇主提供远程选择的人来说,它无法使用。 It is not available to those who choose to work remotely or whose employers offer remote options. 可就本税年度和前4年提出索偿,但福利通常只相当于每周几磅。 Claims can be made for the current tax year and up to four prior years, but the benefit typically amounted to only a few pounds per week. 专家们指出,支助有限,无法充分解决能源成本上升的问题,高棉管理中心鼓励符合条件的个人通过其应用程序或在线服务提出申请。 Experts note the limited support does not fully address rising energy costs, and HMRC encourages eligible individuals to apply through its app or online services.
