Can I claim internet expenses on the work-space-in-the-home section?

Where do I claim my internet expenses for working from home?

If you are self-employed, you can add internet costs to the business-use-of-home expenses (as an other expense) and it will be divided up based on how much of your house you use for work, like your other work-space-in-the-home expenses. A better option might be to add it to the regular business expenses (again as an other expense) so that you can pro-rate it based on business use.

If you are employed and your T2200 form from your employer says you can claim internet costs, then you can. But just like with a self-employed person, to may want to put it on the “Other Employment Expenses” page as an other expense, if you know how much you used it for work purposes.
