I think it's been mentioned but probably good to remind occasionally. I'm holding out until the end of the tax year as it doesn't look like I'll be going back to the office until then, presumably this is the sensible thing to do?
Also wondering if I should go down the specific expenses route as I might but myself a new desk I could claim for and I've been monitoring my computer's energy use since the start of lockdown. Haven't worked out if this would be worth it.

Not sure if we've had this already but the government have changed the process for claiming relief on some costs of working from home. If you've only worked a single day from home since the first lockdown (March 23rd) due to employer or government guidelines, you can claim back £6 a week for the entire year in a single form: https://www.gov.uk/tax-relief-for-employees/working-at-home
Takes literally 2 mins if you already have a government gateway ID.
This is for PAYE non-self assessment only.
It's roughly £130 back for a higher rate tax payer.
