"It argues this is only fair, as those who work from home are saving money and not paying into the system like those who go out to work."
They simply need more people to "pay into the system" again.
Taxation of WFH people is like taxing vegetarians because the tax revenue from sugar tax is too low.
Edit: Also fuck banks, of course their employees suggest taxing the middle class.
How is sugar consumption related to meat eating?
Or better example if cyclists were taxes because they don't pay motor/petrol tax.

From TFA:
"By working from home, people aren't paying for public transport or eating out at restaurants near their places of work"
It's exactly what the GP comment referenced.
I don't believe it has anything to do with change.
I believe it has everything to do with isolating a vulnerable subset of society to exploit them. Divide and conquer. They want a bigger chunk of your hard earned money, thus they fabricate a tall tale of entitlement to vilify and turn the peole against you, and proceed to rob you of your paycheck because they want your hard earned money.
More money on electricity, heating, had to get better internet etc. Spending more on food as I am snacking and drinks more at home. It's not like the employers are sharing in this increased cost. The independent owned coffee place near my home is more expensive than the coffee can buy in the work canteen.
