End-of-year return: claiming costs of home office

filecore · Post by **filecore** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 10:37 am

Oh dear, it's that time of the year again. I'm trying to remember the previous years - can I claim a share of insurance if I have a home office? I know I can claim a corresponding share of yhtiövastike, electricity, internet etc. I'm pretty sure I asked this from some advisor guy last year and I have some faint memory that he said I shouldn't, but since my memory is utterly untrustworthy I'd like to know what you guys think.

I read somewhere, that home insurance don't cover anything staying at the room that is claimed to be home office. You should have business insurance for business purposes.

Yeah, that sounds vaguely familiar. Thanks.

One more question, I just want to confirm this for sure - insurance premiums (YEL) are fully deductible, aren't they?
