![\"working](\"https:\/\/taxback.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/working-from-home-tax-relief-ireland.png\")
<\/p>\nHave you been working from home? If so, you may be entitled to e-worker tax relief in Ireland. E-worker relief is a tax relief on expenses that people could incur while working from home on either a full or part-time basis. Expenses include heating, electricity and broadband.<\/p>\n
Although it is not a legal obligation, some employers will pay \u20ac3.20 tax-free per day to their employees to cover additional working from home costs.<\/p>\n
If an employer does not pay the \u20ac3.20 per day, the employee can claim a tax refund, as detailed below:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Electricity and heating<\/strong> – 10% of the cost of electricity and heat can be claimed for the days spent working from home<\/li>\n
- Broadband<\/strong> \u2013 In general, 10% of the cost of broadband can be claimed based on the number of days spent working from home over the year. However, you can claim 30% of the cost for time spent working from home during the pandemic<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tax relief due on these expenses is up to 40%, depending on the employees personal circumstances.<\/p>\n
For example, if your heating bill is \u20ac1,000, you can claim 10% of that, i.e. \u20ac100. You are entitled to tax relief of 20% or 40% on the \u20ac100 (so you will be due a refund of \u20ac20 or \u20ac40, depending on your personal circumstances).<\/p>\n
If you have worked from home, you are entitled to e-worker relief for the past four years.<\/p>\n
