Home Office Expenses

I'm a sole trader and have just signed up to Quick Books Self employed.

I've always put a percentage of my household bills on my expenses to cover the part of my home which is dedicated to being my office.

I've tried doing the same using QB and listing it as "Home Office Expenses", but it's showing up as disallowable.

It's also doing the same thing for anything I put down as a meal expense.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi David, I'm having this problem too, when I know it's allowable? Did you find out how to resolve the issue?

Thanks

I eventually found a solution to the problem.

In your tax profile you have to specify that you work from home 25 hours a week and it will sort it all out automatically.

No idea why it works like that, a home office is an office no matter how much time you actually spend there

I'm having the same problem, I work 220 hours a month from home and I can't claim food ,phone or office supplies! I'm getting a bit stressed!
