I currently work from home more than 50% of the time - but I'm not forced to work from home. Can I still claim employment expenses? My employer and I do have an agreement that I work from home. I come into the office three days a week for a few hours, then work from home the rest of the day and the other two days. The wording on the CRA website is confusing and I wanted to know if I'm able to claim employment expenses.
Here is the link: Home office expenses for employees - Eligibility criteria
As per the CRA: "Your employer required you to work from home
This requirement does not have to be part of your employment contract, however, it should be a written or verbal agreement.
For 2023, if an employee has voluntarily entered into a formal telework arrangement with their employer, the employee is considered to have been required to work from home."
Does this mean if we have an agreement that I WFH (I wasn't forced to WFH) I can claim some of my expenses? Thanks.
