Free Report: Tax Deductions When Working From Home

By in Case Study, Free Resources

We all know that COVID has irrevocably changed how the world works…

From how we interact to travelling regulations, perhaps one of the greatest areas affected is the work sphere.

Gone are the 5-day-in-office-rosters and cramped public transport. Instead, we’re now facing a hybrid of home and work office environments with a sea of new devices and platforms to connect us.

But how do these changes affect your 2022 tax return? 

Well, this is exactly what we answer in this free report!!

We’re looking at what taxes you can claim when working from home, how to claim them, AND unpacking how the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will try to deny your claim.

Basically, we’re looking at how you can maximise your returns this 2022 tax season!! 

So what are you waiting for?

Let’s get started! Simply fill in the form below and we’ll email the PDF to your inbox 😊







P.S. In fact, we’re so passionate about maximising your returns this 2022 tax season that we featured a whole Bonusisode around it! Tune in as our favourite Property Tax Guru, Julia Hartman, and our very own Ben Kingsley unpack this report. Start listening from 10 minutes and 48 seconds!
