Short answer: Yes. Your company can reimburse a fair share of household costs for the part of your home used for business, or pay up to £6 a week tax-free without evidence under HMRC’s simplified rule for employees.
At a glance
| Simple flat rate | £6 a week (£26 a month) |
|---|---|
| Actual costs | Fair share of heat, light, broadband, phone |
| Mortgage or rent | Not normally claimable |
Choosing a method
The flat rate is easy. Actual costs can be higher if you use a dedicated room, but need supporting bills and a sensible apportionment.
Record it
Keep bills and a simple calculation, and have the company pay you, not just claim on a tax return.
