Something to keep in mind while we work from home...
With so many Australians working from home to reduce the risk of coronavirus, we’re making it easier to claim your expenses this tax time.
From 1 March until 30 June 2020, we’re allowing you to claim 80c per hour for each hour you spend working from home. This will cover all your expenses, including your:
🔥❄ Heating and cooling
🔌 Electricity
📱 Mobile phone
🖥️ Internet
🧾 Depreciation of office equipment
You can still use other methods to calculate your claim if you prefer; however, whichever method you choose, you’ll need to make sure you have records to support your claim.
