Question 1

How much can I claim for working from home?

Accepted Answer

Using the fixed rate method, you can claim 67 cents per hour worked from home. This covers electricity, phone, internet, stationery, and computer consumables. You must keep a record of hours worked from home, such as a timesheet or diary.

Question 2

Can I claim home office furniture?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but separately from the 67c/hour rate. Items like desks, chairs, and monitors can be claimed as a separate deduction. Items under $300 can be claimed immediately; items over $300 must be depreciated over their effective life.
