🏠 Working From Home Tax Relief Is Ending in 2026

Many people have been claiming the £6 per week working-from-home tax relief. From 6 April 2026, this relief will be removed unless your employer reimburses the costs directly.

Why is it changing?
HMRC found that many claims made since Covid were not actually eligible, often because hybrid workers were not required to work from home. ❌

What does this mean for you?
• Employees will no longer be able to claim the £6 per week tax deduction themselves
• Basic rate taxpayers will pay around £62 more tax per year, higher rate around £124 📉
• Employers can still pay a tax-free homeworking allowance if the employee meets the rules ✔️

If you want advice on how this affects you or your business, CKW is here to help 😊

🚨 Double Cab Pick-Ups: Big Tax Changes Coming in 2025! 🚨

From April 2025, the government will treat double cab pick-ups with a payload of one tonne or more as company cars for tax purposes, instead of vans. This change impacts:

✅ Capital allowances
✅ Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) tax
✅ Deductions from business profits

What does this mean for drivers?

A dramatic increase in BIK tax.
For example, a Ford Ranger (list price ~£48,000+, CO2 >178g/km+) will see BIK rise to £17,700/year, costing employees:
£7,110/year (40% taxpayers)
£3,550/year (20% taxpayers)

What about businesses?

Currently, double cab pick-ups qualify for van tax treatment, allowing businesses to claim capital allowances for vans at 100%
Fleets will face higher income tax and National Insurance bills.
Fuel benefits will also be more expensive.

Transitional Rules:
Pick-ups purchased, leased, or ordered before April 6, 2025, can use the current tax treatment until the earlier of disposal, lease expiry, or April 5, 2029.

This move follows years of debate around whether vehicles like double cab pick-ups are cars or vans for tax purposes. Similar cases have seen HMRC reclassify other vehicles, such as VW Transporters, as cars.

Action Needed:
If you're considering a double cab pick-up for your business, review your plans now to avoid costly surprises later. Fleets should also review HMRC's guidance on vehicle classifications.
