Working from home? Here’s what you can claim for tax.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully you are in a fortunate position and are able to work from home in the current landscape. Don\u2019t forget that you will be able to claim a deduction for expenses that relate to work. These include home office running expenses, telephone and internet expenses.<\/p>\n

The ATO has lots of information on this – including a handy download, a home office calculator and a video explainer.<\/p>\n

Start keeping all your receipts for the expenses incurred and you can claim them at tax time.<\/p>\n

If you are working from home as an employee, download this useful summary of things you can claim: Working From Home Summary<\/a><\/p>\n

Or visit the ATO website for more information: Home Office Expenses<\/a><\/p>\n
