📋 Maximising Your Remote Work Tax Relief
Working from home relief is one of the most underutilised tax benefits for Irish employees. Here's how to ensure you're claiming everything you're entitled to:
Calculating Your Actual Expenses
While the flat rate of €3.20 per day is straightforward, you may be entitled to more if your actual expenses are higher. Consider:
- Electricity: The portion used for work purposes
- Heating: Additional heating costs during work hours
- Broadband: Work-related internet usage
- Phone bills: Work calls on personal phones
Hybrid Working Considerations
If you split your time between home and office, you can still claim for days worked from home. Keep a simple log of your home working days - even a calendar notation is sufficient. Many hybrid workers don't claim because they think they don't qualify, but even 2-3 days per week adds up significantly over the tax year.
Equipment and Furniture
If you purchased equipment for your home office (desk, chair, monitor, keyboard), you may be able to claim additional relief. Items provided by your employer don't qualify, but personal purchases made specifically for remote work may be eligible for tax relief.
