Thanks for clarifying - I just wanted it to be explicitly clear that people CANNOT claim the €3.20 as an expense in employment from Revenue. If the broadband is paid for, surely the remaining expense to be claimed is negligible. The proportion of a household’s electricity bill that could be apportioned to working at home must be in the single digits %, surely - 40hrs use of a 40watt light bulb per week, and the power used to run your computer..? Am I missing something?
I’d have thought, if anything, working from home actually saves people money. No commuting cost, no impulse purchases of overpriced coffee / bar of chocolate etc, lunch at home, (only showering once or twice during the week!)...
