Office in Home Employee Expense Deduction – Simplified Process

Announced December 15, 2020, due to COVID, Finance and the CRA have an administrative policy for employees working at home to claim a flat $400 Office in Home deduction ($2 day to a maximum of $400) without an employer T2200 form. The employee must have worked from home more than 50% over a period of at least 4 consecutive weeks in 2020 due to COVID-19. Employees who think they have a larger claim can still use the detailed method but will require an employer signed T2200 form.
