Since the beginning of COVID-19, there has been a large increase in the number of individuals working from home. During August 2021, over 40% of employees were working from home. This change in working environment altered the types of claimable deductions, as many employees are required to have access to home internet, personal laptops and mobile phones.
There are a few eligibility requirements for working at home claims. These include:
You must be working from home to fulfil your employment duties, not just carrying out minimal tasks like occasionally checking emails or taking calls.
They must be for additional expenses that were incurred as a result of working from home.
