How do I enter employment expenses when expense is for office not whole house? Does new flooring and doors when creating the home office count as maintenance?

I don't know whether I am GST/HST eligible so which column do I enter the information.

I entered the area of the office and the total house so I can determine the percentage of heat / electricity. However, for the doors flooring I have the cost for just that space so how to enter?

Also, for heat electricity, I totaled the payments actually made in the calendar year is this the correct way to calculate the cost?

If the materials purchased were only used for your office, and not for common areas or rest of the house, then the full cost should be accepted as legitimate office expenses.
