Hello, I work part time at home but I rent my home. Can I claim any of my rent?

Hi there,

Thank you for your question. In order to claim home office expenses as an employee, your employer must complete a T2200 for you. However, if you are self-employed, you do not need to complete this form. 

You can claim home office expenses (rent or utilities) provided:

• The work space is where you mainly (more than 50% of the time) do your work.
• You use the work space only to earn your employment income. You also have to use it on a regular and continuous basis for meeting clients, customers, or other people in the course of your employment duties
