WORKING FROM HOME
Which of the following expenses is not covered by the fixed rate per hour?
A) Electricity π‘
B) Phone & internet usage π±
C) Laptop π»
D) Stationery π
The answer is C
The fixed rate method covers your additional running expenses for:
β
Electricity & gas
β
Phone & internet usage
β
Stationery & computer consumables (like printer ink)
Remember, you canβt claim a separate deduction for these expenses anywhere else in your tax return.
You can, however, claim a separate deduction for depreciating assets you use for work (like that laptop). Just make sure you work out the decline in value & claim over a number of years.
Need help working out your depreciation. Make an appointment to see one of our Accountants at Pegasus Professional Accounting. We would love to see you.
