"compensating workers for use of their homes as a company office.

If this happened there would be an awful lot of people unhappy as they started to get taxed on capital gains, not to mention being on the receiving end of business rates bills as working from home is officially acknowledged.

WFH is a financial perk that is flying under the radar at the moment but it isn't un-noticed. That loss of business rates that will occur as businesses close down unused office space, will quickly be passed on to the workers to make up the difference. We're living in a Covid funded bubble at the moment. Once that funding stops the authorities will scramble to make up the difference.
