My understand is that, to qualify for the £6 pw allowance, an employee only needs to be home working for part of 20/21 tax year.
But, what happens if they stop work (retire) part way through the year ? - would you still claim £312 ?
Thanks

No, I wouldn't.
EDIT: Could have sworn I'd seen something that said not but can't find it so assume you can.
For the self employed, it's per month or per part of per month.
Not forced to be the same for employees but I didn't deal with any employees who had a case for claiming.
Yes I would
It is trivial
Whoops there we go
No could not be bothered unless I needed to do a tax return anyway.
If so I would claim other items I paid for that the tight git of an employer did not reimburse
NOBODY should need to claim. EMPLOYER should pay
If you use HMRC's microservice for claiming (as opposed to Self Assessment), does it give you the option to specify a number of weeks, or does it automatically give you the full year's entitlement?
But only if you *have to* work at home on a regular basis, either for all or part of the week (e.g. due to coronavirus restrictions). You cannot claim the tax relief if you *choose* to work from home.
Also, the current 'rule' (allowing the claim for a whole year without any pro-rating) is a dispensation from HMRC as part of the various Covid-19 measures ... so may not remain in place in 2022-23.
