Work From Home during Covid
As you are aware, end of financial year is fast approaching. As many of you may have been impacted by covid-19 restrictions, and as such have had to work from home, particularly the last few months, we have put together a small fact sheet on what you can and cant claim for your working from home expenses. If you were working from home due to Covid-19 restrictions, the ATO have allowed a claim of 80c per hour from 1 March 2020 until at least 30 June 2020. To claim this, you should start (if you have not already) putting together a log of the hours you have worked from home during this period.
