Taxpayers could soon be dealing with more paperwork at tax time or face the prospect of a lower deduction for work from home expenses if the ATO gets its way. The ATO has recently released a proposed new revised fixed rate method of calculating work from home expenses of 67c per hour.

This proposal is still in draft stage and open to submissions from interested parties.
