You are correct in saying that CRA states that for 2023, employees who have voluntarily entered into a formal telework arrangement with their employer are considered to have been required to work from home. However, to be eligible to claim your home office expenses, you need to meet all of the following conditions: - You have a completed and signed copy of Form T2200, Declaration of Conditions of Employment, from your employer. or - You have a completed and signed copy of Form T2200S, Declaration of Conditions of Employment for Working at Home Due to COVID-19, from your employer.
Here is the link to the CRA page where you can find all of this information.
