Michael Croker from Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand says it might be time to make the working from home ‘coronavirus shortcut’ a permanent feature of the tax system. The shortcut allows people to claim $0.80 for each hour they work from home rather than itemising individual work-related expenses, and Croker was commenting on a decision that has seen its use extended to June 2022. He notes that the percentage of people working from home has risen from less than eight per cent to 40 per cent in just two years, and he says it is likely that people will continue to work from home at least part of the week for the foreseeable future.
