Money magazine Comments - New tax shortcut when you work from home but should you use it? The ATO has announced a new shortcut to make it easier for you to claim work-from-home expenses. But will it put more money back in your pocket? Not necessarily. https://www.moneymag.com.au/feed/latest?story=157668482 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:57:23 +1000 Wed, 15 Apr 2020 22:57:23 +1000 en-AU Copyright 2026 Money magazine 5 Money magazine Comments - New tax shortcut when you work from home but should you use it? https://media.moneymag.com.au/prod/media/library/Money_Mag/Logo/Logo_401x133.png Comment by Alex Young ()

My employer is paying me the 52 cents per hour extra for working at home, if I chose to claim it and I have the last fortnight. This extra payment appears to also be taxed? I'm a bit lost to where I fit. I am using all my own internet for work, say 80%, have a work provided internet phone but still make and recieve calls on my personal mobile and have purchased a new moniter as well. Monitor cost $430 but work says it will remeburse me $220 which at this stage I don't know if it will attract a tax. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
