Hi all, I work from home 4 days a week and the current policy with the employer is that due to a small office space teams are assigned a certain day of the week to be in the office, though I am not prohibited from working in the office every day if there is an available seat for me.
I want to claim rent, internet, electricity, home insurance premium.
My employer provided T2200, that says Yes to questions in 4, confirming that I was required to work from home for more than 50% of the time.
What worries me is that they answered No for question 1, saying that my contract does not require me to pay for my expenses. The form clearly says that answering No to this makes me ineligible for claiming WFH expenses. The employer's HR said that they answered based on the legal counsel they received.
Does this mean I cannot claim the expenses? Do I have a reasonable case to still claim the expenses, even with T2200 question 1 saying No?
