Not sure this is where I ask .. can I claim the government refund WFH

Morning all .. not sure if a lot of you are working from home like myself but my work told us we can fill out a form and get £30 a month  of tax free money for heating and energy costs .. it’s just a simple form to fill out on the U.K.gov website .. and it just goes into our check every month .. but as resident on a visa I wasn’t sure if I can actually claim
this ? Has anyone done this ? As I don’t want to apply if I cannot or get in trouble as my visa is in process ?

Thanks for all your help again 💛

I've done this! It was recommended by HR early on in the crisis.

it was recommended by ours as well but I see on the back of our BRP it says no government funds so I wasn’t sure .. just thought I’d ask if anyone has done it .. but that is really good .. thank you 😊 I may try it 💛

Perhaps someone else can weigh in here officially but I don't think this is considered government funds (anymore than contributing pre-tax salary in a pension).

It’s a tax relief so *should * be okay and not considered a public fund. I’d research the crap out of it though.

Thank you KF dancer .. I will deff do some research on this 💛 here’s hoping and I will update just incase anyone else has this offer as well .

 It's not a public fund. Public funds are some benefits, emergency housing and being housed by the council (LEA).

If you wash a works uniform at home, you can claim tax relief and that's not a public fund either.
