TAXO'D uses actual cost so that you get the best possible claim from working at home in your pants.
Who can claim?
If you do any work from home, you can claim a portion of those costs as a business expense.
If you pay for business premises but do some work from home as well you can still make a valid claim.
Here's how you do it

Record your work-at-home expenses
