Remote Working during Covid – 19

Have you been working from home during the lockdown? Were you aware that you can claim over €15 per week, tax-free, to cover the additional costs incurred?

63% of workers in Ireland were unaware of this benefit, according to a survey by Taxback.com.

Approximately 100,000 people work from home in Ireland and Revenue had already set out a reimbursement plan to account for heating, electricity and wifi expenses run up in a home office. Employers must agree to the working from home relief plan, and workers stand to receive reimbursements of up to €3.20 per day. If employers have not agreed to the scheme, employees can submit a claim to Revenue directly.
