It appears your home office is allowable deduction because this where you reside and work. What's your filing status resident or non resident?
Is the income made outside of Canada?
I work on a freelance basis for clients in Canada from my desk outside of Canada.
I'm a non resident now.
As I previously mentioned, I believe it's allowable deduction because office rent is always an expense against income to arrive at taxable income.
I agree with Taxnano
