Working From Home Allowance
Save up to £62/yrWhat is it?
If you regularly work from home, you can claim a flat rate of £6 per week (£312 per year) for additional household costs, giving tax relief of £62 at the basic rate or £125 at the higher rate.
Who is eligible?
You must work from home regularly as part of your job (not by choice). Your employer must not already reimburse your home-working expenses.
How to claim
Apply online via the GOV.UK portal for the current tax year, or claim through your Self Assessment tax return.

Professional Subscriptions
You can claim tax relief on annual subscriptions to HMRC-approved professional bodies relevant to your job — including the BMA, RICS, ICAEW, Law Society, IET, and hundreds of others.
Trivial Benefits
Your employer can give you small, non-cash benefits worth up to £50 each without them being taxable — including gift vouchers, a birthday meal, or flowers.
Avoid the £100k Tax Trap
If you earn between £100,000 and £125,140, you lose £1 of Personal Allowance for every £2 earned above £100k, creating an effective 60% tax rate. Salary sacrifice into a pension can reclaim this.
