Home Office Allowance

The Home Office Allowance is a flat rate that you can claim if you’re self-employed and use your home for work. Depending on how many hours you work from home each month, you can claim a different amount.

The good part of the Home Office Allowance is that you don’t have to work out how much of your home is used for work, which can get very complicated if you are claiming your home as an expense.

How much you can claim:

Hours you work from home Monthly flat rate that you can claim
25 to 50 hours £10
51 to 100 hours £18
over 100 hours £26
