Revenue details allowances for staff working from home during  pandemic

Revenue also clarified the definition of a "normal place of work, during the period of Covid-19, is the office"

Claims for broadband expenses are 30% of the cost of the bill 'apportioned on the basis of the number of days worked from home over the year'.

Details of the tax credits for the thousands of people forced to work from home remotely during the pandemic have been published by the Revenue following the budget measure last week that allows for tax claims against broadband expenses. 

The broadband allowance was one of the few personal taxation items announced last week in a budget that featured the allocation of many billions of euro in contingency funds for exposed businesses to survive in the event of more lockdowns and a breakdown in the Brexit talks between the UK and the EU.
