Louisa says: 13 October 2015 at 17:36 I work from home - I have an office and photographic studio, so am trying to work out what I can claim as household expenses. We no longer owe money on our bond, so it seems like I can't claim anything there. I understand I can claim a portion of rates, water and electricity. Can I also claim a portion of the homeowners insurance and the security (armed response) costs? |

Louisa says: 14 October 2015 at 13:35 We converted a large room into a photographic studio and another room into an office, but they are both in our home. I use those two rooms exclusively for work purposes now. Thanks. |
