2020 will be a year we will all remember for the rest of our lives, the year of COVID-19 and the sudden rise in working from home. No one could have predicted that enjoying a meal at our favourite restaurant would go away, and that hanging out with friends would become a thing of the past, but humanity has stood strong in the face of adversity and we’ve learned to adapt.
One of the biggest challenges many have had to face has been the almost immediate transition from business as usual working in the office, to having to work from home. For many this will be the first sustained period of working from home ever, and new day-to-day challenges not usually faced in the office will start to rear their heads.
A great example of this is not having the tools you’re used to having at hand, tools you need to be efficient and effective while doing your job, such as a hard drive, laptop or printer. Another could be that you’re getting a sore back from sitting on a chair from the kitchen table all day rather than on your usual comfy, ergonomic work chair.
With tax time fast approaching, what you might not know, however, is that if you’re working from home in a dedicated office space , you may be eligible to claim items that you genuinely need to do your job. Check out our article here for more information.
These items must be purchased from out of your own pocket up to $300; any item over $300 needs to be depreciated and you can’t claim the costs in full. As uncertainty remains about just how long these social restrictions will last, if you require any of the products below in order to work from home, now is definitely the time to stock up!
