See if you’re among the millions of Australians who’ll probably be better off hanging onto your work receipts for tax time next year.

Like, claiming them in full? Cos that's just tax fraud, if so.

Any of those things, if used for both work and personal purposes, need to be claimed only in proportion to how much they're used for work compared to other reasons.

For power and net? Yep, keep a a log of when you work from home, the times (easier you work an 8 hour shift every time) and use excel ballpark an amount. Or use a smart plug. Everything else, no, because if you wouldn’t have bought them if not for work, they’re due to it. I had office furniture but work has guideline for ergonomics for example. I have a OneNote for every wfh shift, for work and the tax man, in case either come asking questions. Only a couple lines of text per entry generally. Takes a couple minutes per shift.
