🏠 Working From Home? Make Sure You’re Claiming Correctly at Tax Time!

Many people use the fixed rate method to claim working from home expenses, but did you know there’s another option?

💡 The actual cost method allows you to claim the actual expenses you incur while working from home.

The good news? You can choose the method that gives you the best outcome, provided you’re eligible and have the right records.

📌 No matter which method you use:
✅ Keep accurate records
✅ Keep receipts and supporting documents
✅ Only claim expenses related to your work
✅ Ensure your claim is calculated correctly

Before lodging your tax return, use the ATO’s Home Office Expenses Calculator to:

✅ Understand what you can claim
🧮 Calculate your working from home deduction

Around 40% of people surveyed didn’t know that a Clearance Certificate is required when selling property in Australia. 👇

If you don’t have a clearance certificate, 15% of the sale price can be withheld at settlement — regardless of how much the property sells for.

✅ If you’re an Australian resident and planning to sell your property, it’s best to apply for the clearance certificate early, as soon as you start thinking about selling.

The good news? It’s completely free to apply.
