You must have been allowed to work from home however as per your contract if employment, was this the case? You will also only be able to deduct amounts for when you worked and when you had that office, not at any other time. |

Pabi says: 30 October 2013 at 15:53 Thank you for the answer Tim. The company I worked for was situated in Cape Town at that time of my employment and had no office space in Johannesburg, or pretoria on my contract it just says that I will work in Gauteng it does not specify. We had a laptop & 3G that we used whatever we needed were sent to our home addresses. |

TaxTim says: 30 October 2013 at 17:53 You can deduct home office expenses provided you meet the criterion set out in guide to home office expense deductions. It would appear though that you can deduct the office at your home for the period you were employed and used that space. |
