Deduction for second home for work

    Otherwise move on to Other deductions. First select Yes under Deduction for second home for work, and then click Add new second home for work.

    Enter details on the second home and your place of work.

    • If you have rented the second home because of another primary place of work, select Yes.
    • Check that the address of your permanent home has been entered correctly.
    • Enter the distance between your place of work and your permanent home in full kilometres.
    • Enter the distance between your second home for work and your permanent home in full kilometres.
    • Select whether you live in your permanent home alone or together with your spouse and/or underage children.
    • Fill in how the second home is used and how much rent you pay. Enter the time period as full months and specify the monthly rent you have paid.
    • Finally, assure that you have not been paid any tax-exempt allowance or benefit for your second home for work based on living in a locality other than where your home is located (e.g. tax-exempt housing allowance).

    After you have entered all the details, click OK.
