T2200 Employee expenses: My wife uses home office for her job (she's an employee) do wee need to put down how much GST/HST we paid in Cable, electricity, gas?

Her T2200 only says she has work from home expense, No logging, travel etc. I don't think the GST/HST thing applies. I thought the T2200 'work from home' was just a fixed amount.

You need to include GST in your expenses. However, if you wish to claim a GST rebate, then you need to calculate how much GST you paid and claim a rebate which has to be included as an income for next year's return.

This links below explain the expenses your wife can claim as a salaried or commissioned employee:
