Home office equipment is only a fraction of the company's potential savings from office rent or other operational costs. Some of those costs get passed on to the employee, like electricity or heating costs.

Seems like the Uberization of white-collar workers, shifting costs to employees.

And if not shifting those costs, then seems like a windfall for accountants to deal with all the tax implications.

Or, an opportunity for a new wave of politicians to figure out how to implement tax and labor laws in such an environment.

WFH might be simpler for tax purposes since you don't have imputed income from free lunches and such.

Oh, interesting. Didn't think about that.
