THE NUMBERS

Your results

Estimated eligible deduction: R 0,00
Estimated tax saving: R 0,00

Your answers do not satisfy the employee home-office eligibility checks. No deduction is calculated.

Employee/office-holder scope only; not municipal property tax or a self-employed business expense model. Premises costs are apportioned by floor area and qualifying months; enter equipment wear-and-tear already calculated for business use separately. Excludes mortgage interest and capital improvements. Retain evidence; home-office use can affect primary-residence CGT relief.
