LOL, funny enough, I rarely log in from home, I hate computers when I'm not at work.

Question: Am I able to claim part of my phone bill on tax because of this?

Absolutely. You work out the % of your monthly bill that is used by your work and x 12. I claim around 20% of our monthly $100 ( or so ) for work related matters.

I'll only claim for my wifi, my package includes 2 mobiles, a landline, wifi and foxtel x2.

There really is no way of proving how much time I spend on my work laptop at home is there? I have four other laptops at home aswell that all get a fair workout.

And there's no way of proving other wise.... ( Certainly not to the extent to have the ATO investigate it forensically )

Yep, might browse from time to time on my phone, but rarely post after 5pm or over the weekend.

I don't want to spend time with you lot when I don't have to.

May aswell claim the whole wifi component. Roughly $1200 per annum.

See, that's when the ATO might go "Bullshit, you only use your wi-fi work work purposes and no personal use?"

But I need the wifi for work, perhaps the kids may take advantage of it without my knowledge.

I'll ask around at work what they do.

I claim 20% for my work, Mrs Boon claims 40% for her work ( she works from home more than me )....

Can you claim a goat under the "farm animal" category?
Just asking... for, um, a friend. Yeah, a friend.

"..but you **** one goat..."

You can get in some serious trouble if you use specific terms for smaller goats. Google flags those searches, I've been told......by the police.

If the goat is male, does that make you gay?

Same deal, a mate asked.

Technically you're meant to do a 4 week log of your usage each year.

https://www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Inco ... -expenses/

"If you have a bundled plan, you need to identify your work use for each service over a 4-week representative period during the income year. This will allow you to determine your pattern of work use which can then be applied to the full year.

A reasonable basis to work out your work related use could include:

Internet:
•the amount of data downloaded for work as a percentage of the total data downloaded by all members of your household
•any additional costs incurred as a result of your work-related use – for example, if your work-related use results in you exceeding your monthly cap."
