Working From Home Tax Deductions Australia — FY2025-26 Hub

Fixed rate (70¢/hour) vs actual cost method, eligible expenses, and the rules ATO actually enforces.

The FY2025-26 ATO fixed rate for work-from-home is 70 cents per hour — covering electricity, internet, phone, stationery, and depreciation of small office equipment. If you worked 800 hours from home, that's a $560 deduction with no receipts required (just an hours diary). Many workers prefer the actual cost method for higher claims, but it requires detailed bills and a floor area calculation. This hub helps you choose the right method and identify which related expenses (laptop, monitor, ergonomic chair) you can ALSO claim alongside the WFH hours.
