The £6/week allowance is what the employer can pay you for the expenses of working at home. It's a bit like mileage at 45p/mile or whatever it is now. They can pay you that without having to get involved in documenting the real costs.
We've been offered that but if I'm honest I've no extra costs.
We're both retired from our original career occupations but both doing other stuff. At least one of us would be at home so heating on. Broadband for surfing, streaming etc is on all the time whatever.
Working for a charity means £6/week paid to me ultimately coming from a front line to which I'm wholeheartedly committed.
It was suggested we claim from HMRC. In that case you get back the tax on £6; £1.20/week. That's not available to non taxpayers. Even the volunteer who, as a retired Headmaster, pays 40% tax would only get £2.40. Non taxpayers get diddly.
