No. You can’t charge rent to yourself. But you can claim a portion of home expenses (like rent or utilities) if you work from home.
How to calculate your claim:
- % of your home used for business
- % of time it’s used for business
Example:
- Rent = €1,200/month
- Business space = 10%
- Time used = 1/3 of the day
- Claim: €1,200 × 10% = €120
- €120 × 1/3 = €40/month
Tip: Keep records and avoid claiming for mixed-use rooms unless you apportion use carefully.
