Eligibility to claim

To use the revised fixed rate method, you must:

• have a record of the total number of hours you work from home and the expenses you incur while working at home
• have records for expenses the fixed rate per work hour doesn’t cover and that show the work-related portion of those expenses.

You can claim 67 c for each hour you work from home during the relevant income year. The rate includes the additional running expenses you incur for:

• home and mobile internet or data expenses
• mobile and home phone usage expenses
• electricity and gas (energy expenses) for heating, cooling and lighting
• stationery and computer consumables, such as printer ink and paper.

The rate per work hour (67c) includes the total deductible expenses for the above additional running expenses. If you’re using this method, you can’t claim an additional separate deduction for these expenses.
