should i have to pay income tax on contribution to home office rent from company?

this is essentially a reimbursement of your expense. since you can deduct the expense, the fact that the reimbursement is taxable doesn't affect you much. you deduct your home office expenses on your annual tax return using form 8829. see the irs site for more details. if you're asking about the uk tax, there may be some other considerations, but from the us tax perspective it is (nearly) a wash.
