HM Revenue & Customs has announced that it will increase the tax-free amount that employers can pay to its employees for working from home - for "reimbursing sundry household expenses" from £3 per week to £4 per week from 6 April 2012.
Whilst higher amounts can be paid, this is the level which HMRC categorically states can be paid without any Income Tax or NIC cost, or any evidence/records required of the additional cost incurred by the employee.
For the announcement itself, please see Reimbursing Additional Household Expenses.
For background information on these exempt payments, see EIM01472
