Your website re the 67 cents per hour says the 67 cents covers stationery and computer consumables such as printer ink and paper. What if I purchase stationery and like items that are NOT used for working from home? For example if I was a teacher I buy all sorts of stationery and paper during the year not necessarily for working from home. Used in the classroom for example or at school. How do I prove that? If I buy a highlighter pen for example that I use both at school and working from home?

Hi @Nolie265


You'd work out the portion you use your items in the classroom and claim that portion under Tools computers and items you use for work. You can keep a diary for 4 weeks and record your usage of items to separate working from home and your workplace. You can use this along with receipts as evidence of how you worked out your claim. Does that make sense?
