Every spring, home workers ask themselves the same question: Can they reduce their taxes by working from home? While the idea is tempting, the answer deserves some serious scrutiny. And those numbers could hold some nice tax surprises… if you know the right levers.
Teleworking and Taxes: Can We Really Lower Our Bills in 2025?
Between coffee at home and video conferences in the living room, remote work has changed our daily lives… and our bills. But can it also reduce taxes? Yes, but not automatically. It all depends on your personal situation and the decisions you make when filing your tax return.
Deduction or actual costs: two ways of declaring
As every year, you can choose:
- A flat 10% deduction rate applied automatically : This simplifies the process but does not take into account the actual costs. Ideal if you have few business expenses.
- An actual declaration of expenses , which may be more beneficial, especially if you have a space designated for teleworking or if your company does not pay you a specific allowance.
In 2025, the rates remain unchanged: for each day of remote work, you can deduct €2.60 , up to a limit of 100 days per year , i.e. a maximum of €260 . This amount includes electricity, internet, heating, etc., and even part of the rent if you have a dedicated office.
