This will become even more important in the aftermath of the corona virus. Both employers and employees will have clearly realised some of the benefits of home working, and being able to mitigate tax is a crucial aspect of working more flexibly. There is so much that will change in the next months, I address some of these at my blog www.postcorona2020.com.
