Looking for an ATO work-from-home Excel template?
An Excel WFH log can be acceptable, but only if you record your actual hours throughout the year. Learn what the ATO expects and why a purpose-built app makes life easier.

The ATO offers different methods for claiming WFH deductions, each with its own requirements and benefits. Understanding which method suits your situation can maximise your return while keeping you compliant.
