Hey there!

I’m currently living in Vaud, but working for a Zurich company (my work contract says that I’m ‘Remote’, meaning that I have no workplace even in Zurich).

I decided to have a room just for working, is it possible to deduct part of the rent as professional costs? If so, how does it work in terms of the costs that I can declare?

I just don’t want to declare something that it’s considered unacceptable and having consequences somehow.

Some extra info that I found on this page related to the topic *(*[*https://www.vd.ch/themes/etat-droit-finances/impots/impots-pour-les-individus*](https://www.vd.ch/themes/etat-droit-finances/impots/impots-pour-les-individus) *- code 160) ”La déduction pour une chambre de travail privée est soumise à certaines conditions : le travail à domicile doit être une nécessité, voire une obligation’ (it’s also under the category “COVID-19 – Télétravail”).*

  1. I live in Geneva and deduct the percentage of the rent according to the room I work in.

    They did however rejected the fixed amount of work expenses that every worker is entitled for, said that I have to choose between the deductions. Rent is of course higher.
