Hi,
I regularly work from home and have a study that I use exclusively for work. My employer can provide me with an office chair if I ask for one, but I find the model that they provide uncomfortable. Because of this, I bought an office chair at my own expense (it was quite expensive).
I have two questions I hope someone can help me with:
- Can I claim my office chair as a working from home expense even though my employer offers to provide one?
- Is there a limit to how much I can claim (noting that the chair I bought is quite a bit more expensive than the average OfficeWorks model)
My question is relevant to the 2022-23 tax year. I am aware that, because the office chair cost more than $300, I would have to claim as a depreciation, not a direct expense.
Many thanks!
