How to claim working from home tax relief

If you've had to work from home for at least one day in the last 11 months due to Covid then you are able to claim back between £62 and £140 in tax from the whole year.

I've explained who can get it and how to get it in this article.

We're doing this on a new audio app called Clubhouse (it's iOS only - sorry Android users).

The top deals this week

I only share deals and special offers on the blog which I think are really good value. Click the titles or links for more information.

I've also set up an extra Instagram account dedicated to the deals and offers I spot throughout the week. Do follow me there so you don't miss out on offers that are already finished by the time this email goes out on a Thursday.

1. Waitrose: £5 off £40 codes

If you ever shop online or for collection at Waitrose it's worth trying these two codes which could give you £5 off. I've tried them on my account and both seem to work.

2. Plum: Free £5 with auto-savings app

I've blagged a link that'll get new users to the savings app Plum a free £5 credit. You need to connect your bank and make an auto-save. More details and my full review here.

3. Amazon: £7 off for Prime members

I know many of you will still be using Amazon, and if you're a Prime member you might be able to nab £7 credit to use on a £25 purchase. You'll need to check you're eligible and then upload a photo to Amazon's Photo app.

4. PayPal: Refer friends for £10 credit

If you have a PayPal account there's an offer running which will get you £10 credit for getting a friend to sign up. More here.

5. LAST CHANCE - Deliveroo: £10 off first order

Anyone new to takeaway app Deliveroo can get £10 off their first order over £15 until Sunday. More here.
