In this brief tax‑tip video, the speaker warns Canadian renters who work from home that they may be missing out on significant tax savings. While many know they can deduct rent and electricity, the video highlights the often‑overlooked “detailed method,” which lets you claim a proportion of rent, utilities, maintenance, supplies, and internet expenses. The speaker contrasts this with the “flat method,” calling it lazy, and notes that clients who switched to the detailed method saved more than $2,000. Viewers are urged to forward this information to their accountant and keep it handy for the upcoming tax season.

If you are working from home, you are likely throwing away money. You know you can deduct rent and electricity, but no one is talking about the detailed method. If you are renting, the flat method is very lazy. The detailed method allows you to claim percentage of your rent, utilities, maintenance, and supplies, as well as internet. I have seen many clients saving more than $2,000 just by switching to this method. So send this to your accountant. Save this for the tax season.
