Home Office Equipment Claims

Monitors, desks, chairs and other equipment can be worth checking if they were required for work and you paid for them yourself.

Quick answer

When it may apply

Required to do the job
Paid personally
No full reimbursement

Plain-English rule

The strongest cases are employer-required equipment for carrying out the role.

What to keep

Pure comfort/lifestyle buys are weaker
Keep receipts and employer requirement evidence
Use caution if there is obvious heavy personal use
