ATO extends working from home shortcut method deadline
If you are working from home, you can continue to claim 80 cents per hour by keeping a record of the number of hours you have worked at home until 30 June 2022. This is an extension from the previous deadline which was 31st December 2021. You just need to keep a timesheet of hours worked (from the date you started to work from home) as evidence of your claim in your tax return.
