A mate and I were discussing the tax deductions associated with working from home and claiming on a mobile phone plan. Can the community chime in on whether this interpretation is correct?
Assuming a 9 to 5 position in the office where internet is used. Vodafone Apple offer to buy iPhone 13 with $1000 discount on a 24 month plan at $69.
If I have documents to substantiate usage of internet for work purposes between 9 to 5 and then 7 to 9 is personal use, then ratio of work to personal usage is 8:2 or 80%. I can then claim $69/month x 0.8 back as a deduction. Can I also depreciate the iPhone e.g. $1349 for the next three or so years separately?
Thanks in advance, not sure if I've been doing it wrong or he's just ignorant on the turps
