I don't know where the £6 a week number comes from, it actually works out as about £120 a year

Isn't it tax relief on £6 pw, which would be close to £120
-
£6 a week is the gross amount.
6x52x40% (for higher rate taxpayer) is your ~ £120.
If you're not a higher rate taxpayer then it's not worth as much.

It's tax relief on £6/week.
Not a tax rebate of £6/week.

... if you're a higher rate tax payer. Which apparently everyone else on this thread is 😢
£6 × 52 × 40% = £124.80
Edit: should have refreshed

Thanks for providing the link, I've just done mine. From the below it sounds like you get the £6 per week for the whole of the 2020/21 tax year regardless of how how many days you actually worked from home... or am I being thick here?!
