As we know, millions of us are now working from home due to Covid-19 but you may be eligible for a tax rebate. According to HMRC, anyone told to work from home for any length of time during the lockdown can claim £125 tax rebate to spend on bills and other home working essentials. You only need to have worked from home for one day to be eligible for it. You can claim your tax refund by following this link: http://gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees/working-at-home
Will my employer change my address with HMRC
Unfortunately, not necessarily. If you update your address with your employer it doesn’t automatically update HMRC’s records. Even if your employer files its tax report (p14) on how much you have made in that ax year, HMRC still wouldn’t have updated your address necessarily. This is why you would need to complete a HMRC change of address.
