π Working from home? Donβt fall into this common tax trap.
For the 2025β26 income year, the fixed-rate method remains 70 cents per hourβbut you must keep a real record of the actual hours you worked from home throughout the year.
And remember: the 70-cent rate already covers expenses such as electricity, internet, phone usage, stationery and computer consumables. Claiming these expenses separately may be considered double-dipping.
At Nanak Accountants, we compare the fixed-rate and actual-cost methods to determine which provides the better legal outcome for you.
