Hello. I have been working from home for the past two years and was unaware of the E-Working allowance of €3.20 per day until today. I searched the forum and saw it mentioned but could not find the info I was looking for.
Details here [broken link removed]
There is no office here so it is not a choice. I don't fully understand how it works however. Do I claim it from Revenue or does my company provide it? If its the company can they decline, it seems to be optional for them? Is there a cost to them if they do allow for it or does the €3.20 per day just come from money I would have paid as tax? Finally can this be backdated two years to when I started working at home? Thank you.
