Yes. There are two approaches. The simplified flat rate gives you a fixed monthly amount based on hours worked from home, which needs no receipts and suits most people. Alternatively you can apportion actual costs — rent or mortgage interest, council tax, utilities, insurance — by the number of rooms used and the time they are used for business.

The apportioned method usually gives a larger claim but requires records. We work out which is better for you rather than defaulting to the easy one.
