How to Claim Work-from-Home Expenses for My Pty Ltd Company

Hi,

I’m the founder and director of a recently established Pty Ltd company. At this stage, the company is generating a small profit, so I’m not yet receiving a salary or director fee.

However, I do incur work-from-home expenses in the course of managing and delivering the company’s work. Personally, I have other sources of income, such as bank interest and family trust distributions.

I’m seeking advice on the best way to claim these work-from-home expenses. Specifically:

1. Can I claim these WFH expenses personally against my other income (given I’m not being paid by the company)?
2. Alternatively, can the company reimburse me for the expenses, and claim the reimbursement as a deduction?
3. Or would it be better for the company to start paying me a small salary or director fee so I can claim the WFH costs as an individual? I prefer not to do this if possible, as it involves other obligations.

I’d appreciate your guidance on the most appropriate option.

Regards,
