  > And company doesn't pay for anything depreciating at my house except laptop I can only see incremental wear and tear on, say, furniture mattering if you are jumping on the couch while you code. Maybe a 33% wear on your kitchen from eating lunch at home too. The house falls down from the weather at the same rate if you are there or not. What is depreciating about your house from WFH at an marginal and alarming speed?

    Whatever it is. I'm using my personal stuff for business. Companies do dodgy shit to evade income tax, one of which is spend unnecessary amounts internally to make it an expense And they are liable for less tax. I had to buy new furniture or use existing furniture. Indian celebrities buy Ferrarris and mark it as depreciating asset by doing some tax magic to save taxes. And here I am using all my personal shit for work and getting nothing in return Not to mention company saves tons on rent, electricity and internet. And yet few firms have policies to reimburse employees. When I work from office, I'm sitting on my dinner table and chair for less than 1hr per day. Now I sit on it for 8-9hrs. And I already had to refit that chair once. Maybe the fitting guy hadn't fit it well.
