Equipment
Home office as an expense – is it allowed?
For freelancers who invoice through WorkNode without their own company.
Not approved
No, costs for your home cannot be added as an expense.
Why?
Rent, electricity and other housing costs are private, even when you work from home. If WorkNode paid them, they would count as salary.
How it works through WorkNode
The expense is booked by WorkNode as your employer. If the cost is private, it counts as a benefit, and you would then pay tax and we would pay employer contributions on it. That is why we only approve costs that belong to the assignment.
