  • Were employees paid the £6 per week Home Working Allowance?
  • Were any additional home working expenses paid?
• Did employers provide COVID-19 Tests?
  • Did they meet the conditions for benefit exemption?
  • If not, did the Trivial Benefits provisions apply to tests, for benefits not exceeding £50?
• Travel expenses, did expense policies change during the year as a result of changes in working patterns brought on by COVID-19.
