Hi,

My company has adopted a 100% work from home setting since May 2022. I would to know if I can claim 100% Tax Reduction for office related equipment (under $300) only use for work such as office headphone with noise cancelling mic dedicated for online meetings given I go with the Revised Fixed Rate method (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.ato.gov.au/uploadedFiles/Content/IAI/Downloads/Toolkits/TaxTimeToolkit_Workingfromhomededuction.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi-9IyQ5ML_AhVF72EKHTvfCyQQFnoECBEQBg&usg=AOvVaw1BeDORwgQxFslaKWp0dh4C) as it mentioned I am able to seperately claim office depreciation etc.

Hi @zsheng7007

Yes you can claim a deduction for your headphones you use for work. When you use the revised fixed rate method you can also claim depreciation for your headphones separately. There's 2 ways to claim depreciation depending on the cost. Since you said your headphones were under $300 you can claim an immediate deduction for them. If you use them 100% for work you can claim the entire amount.

Our website has info about the revised fixed rate method and depreciating assets you use for work.
