What high school teachers can claim in Singapore

Singapore has no flat-rate or per-hour home office method: you may claim only the ACTUAL increase in electricity and telecom caused by working from home, and only where your employer required it and did not reimburse you. Private car expenses are specifically non-deductible under the Income Tax Act 1947 even when the car is used for business, so there is no mileage claim at all.

You can only claim the work-related portion, you must have spent the money yourself without reimbursement, and you need a record to prove it.
