You don't need to have a company. If you operate under your own name, you are a sole trader. If you operate from home then you can claim even if you don't have a limited co, partnership, association, or other legal entity. > You measure up and document what percentage of your house is occupied by > the business and it pays the appropriate share of rent, Correct. power etc. Wrong. You have to be able to justify the percentage of use. The power use is not based on the percentage of space your laptop takes up on your desk. In the case of power I claim quite a bit because my servers and printers use a truck load.
