Some companies and online ads offer to submit work-from-home tax claims on behalf of employees, taking commission from refunds and risking fraudulent claims.HMRC advises that you always check eligibility before claiming, submit claims directly through HMRC to avoid fees and risk, and be wary of promises of “easy money” – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.HMRC highlights three major warning signs of bad tax agents: asking you to sign a blank tax return, requesting your Government Gateway ID, and claiming to be endorsed by HMRC. Legitimate advisers should ask for receipts and let you review and approve returns before submission.Steps you should take before using a tax agent include checking their credentials (look for accreditation with bodies like ICAEW or CIOT), reading the fine print and understanding what you’re signing – some agreements give agents long-term control over your tax affairs, and knowing the fees. You remain responsible for any incorrect claims, even if submitted by an agent.As a reminder, here are the Work-from-Home tax relief rules:Eligibility:Only claim if you’re required to work from home (e.g., no office space or impractical commute).Valid Expenses:Business-related costs like phone calls or energy for your workspace.Excluded Items:Rent, broadband, or anything used outside work hours.ReturnCan we help?Get in touch with Townends Accountants.Contact UsTax Card 2025/2026Get our handy Townends Tax Card today…Free DownloadBook in a meeting with a Trusted AdvisorTake advantage of our extensive experience in accountancy, tax and business development practices by booking in a meeting to discuss the progress of your business today.Contact Us TodayFacebookTwitterLinkedInContact UsEmail: enquiries@townends.comGoole: 01405 763341 York: 01904 687500Useful LinksClient LoginLegals & PrivacyContact UsResourcesLatest From Us#us_grid_1 .w-grid-item:not(:last-child){margin-bottom:10px}#us_grid_1 .g-loadmore{margin-top:10px}.layout_1093 .w-grid-item-h{color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5)}.layout_1093 .usg_post_title_1{transition-duration:0s;transform-origin:50% 50%;transform:scale(1) translate(0%,0%)}.layout_1093 .w-grid-item-h:hover .usg_post_title_1{transform:scale(1) translate(0%,0%);opacity:1;color:#ffffff!important}.layout_1093 .usg_post_title_1{color:rgba(255,255,255,0.50)!important;text-align:left!important;font:normal 300 15px / 25px 'Poppins',sans-serif!important}ADVISORY FUEL RATES: ELECTRIC CAR CHARGINGPARTIAL WIN FOR TAXPAYER IN SDLT/ATED RELIEF CASEContact UsEmail: enquiries@townends.comGoole: 01405 763341 York: 01904 687500Useful LinksClient LoginLegals & PrivacyContact UsResourcesLatest From Us#us_grid_2 .w-grid-item:not(:last-child){margin-bottom:10px}#us_grid_2 .g-loadmore{margin-top:10px}ADVISORY FUEL RATES: ELECTRIC CAR CHARGINGPARTIAL WIN FOR TAXPAYER IN SDLT/ATED RELIEF CASEFacebookTwitterLinkedInTownends Accountants LLP is a limited liability partnership.

The approachable yet always professional way in which we are dealt with makes it easy to make that call for sound advice that you know you can trust.H. Walton LimitedAnthony David, Jason Elizabeth - DirectorsWe have always surrounded ourselves with professionals and Townends are an integral part of our professional team. They have provided us with advice and assisted with planning opportunities for many years over which we have developed close friendships.Thomas The BakerJohn Thomas, Managing DirectorThe services Townends offer go far beyond the expected remit of a traditional accountancy firm..g-cols.gap-10px{margin:0 calc(-1.5rem - 10px)}.gap-10px > .vc_column_container {padding:10px}Not only do we provide the full breadth of everyday accountancy services as well as the more specialist areas, our ultimate goal is to become our clients’ Trusted Advisor on all financial and business issues.Most mid-sized owner managed businesses are driven by a desire to provide for “the family”. The Townends’ Philosophy is the process we use to deliver a viable flexible “Family Plan” which evolves as the business and family needs change.Our Philosophy seeks to develop long term working relationships which surround the whole of the family and delivers solutions as their various needs evolve. The “Family Plan” is an enduring proactive, rather than reactive, process.A number of our family plans date back over 40 years. We regularly work with the different generations of business owners and their families, delivering exceptional continuity for everyone and practical solutions to most major issues. The process never ends!One of the most interesting and demanding elements of delivering the Philosophy is clarifying the personal and business objectives of those in charge and then providing solutions to deliver those objectives. Clarifying objectives is critical to successful long-term financial planning. In the early days of most businesses, the personal and business objectives of its leaders are often entirely compatible – maybe to build a successful business as quickly as possible. As the business and its leaders mature, the objectives can start to diverge – they maybe want to continue to grow the business but have Fridays off. A good example of how the “Family Plan” evolves.We believe in straight talking and have considerable experience in providing bespoke solutions to most family and business situations. The one-size-fits-all service just isn’t appropriate. At Townends, we understand that every business and family is unique, even if they may face similar problems. Our Philosophy is our own unique approach to providing tailored solutions for most, if not all, business and family financial needs.We are dedicated to helping clients achieve their personal and business objectives and delivering “the Plan”. By establishing these objectives early on and with regular reviews thereafter, we have a solid foundation from which we can then provide proactive advice to make it happen together.Contact UsApply Now to be part of the Townends team!Complete our job application form via the link below.Apply NowFacebookTwitterLinkedInContact UsEmail: enquiries@townends.comGoole: 01405 763341 York: 01904 687500Useful LinksClient LoginLegals & PrivacyContact UsResourcesLatest From Us#us_grid_2 .w-grid-item:not(:last-child){margin-bottom:10px}#us_grid_2 .g-loadmore{margin-top:10px}.layout_1093 .w-grid-item-h{color:rgba(255,255,255,0.5)}.layout_1093 .usg_post_title_1{transition-duration:0s;transform-origin:50% 50%;transform:scale(1) translate(0%,0%)}.layout_1093 .w-grid-item-h:hover .usg_post_title_1{transform:scale(1) translate(0%,0%);opacity:1;color:#ffffff!important}.layout_1093 .usg_post_title_1{color:rgba(255,255,255,0.50)!important;text-align:left!important;font:normal 300 15px / 25px 'Poppins',sans-serif!important}HMRC WARNS HOME WORKERS ABOUT ROGUE TAX ADVISORSADVISORY FUEL RATES: ELECTRIC CAR CHARGINGContact UsEmail: enquiries@townends.comGoole: 01405 763341 York: 01904 687500Useful LinksClient LoginLegals & PrivacyContact UsResourcesLatest From Us#us_grid_3 .w-grid-item:not(:last-child){margin-bottom:10px}#us_grid_3 .g-loadmore{margin-top:10px}HMRC WARNS HOME WORKERS ABOUT ROGUE TAX ADVISORSADVISORY FUEL RATES: ELECTRIC CAR CHARGINGFacebookTwitterLinkedInTownends Accountants LLP is a limited liability partnership.
