FAQ
Can I deduct part of my home's electricity and heating?
Only through a recognised home study. In that case you allocate the costs by the room's floor area as a share of the total living space.
Can I claim that on top of the home-office flat rate?
No. The €6 daily flat rate covers all room costs. Rent, electricity, heating, or property tax cannot be deducted alongside it.
How do I calculate the business share?
Divide the study's floor area by the total living area. For 12 m² in an 80 m² home that is 15 % of rent, utilities, electricity, insurance, and cleaning.
What applies to an external office?
There, utilities are fully deductible with no floor-area split: electricity, water, heating, cleaning, and internet as shown on the lease and the statements.
