    That doesn’t really make sense because they’re still spending that money. A $1M/yr business expense on a new office that gives you a $1M/yr tax deduction isn’t putting you ahead financially.

    What you’re missing from the “no deduction” side is that they’re also not spending additional money on new offices.

        Wouldn’t that be a business expense as well? I agree it’s the more sane option, but they’re both still insanely hypocritical options when compared to allowing remote work.

          Yeah, it is. But if the CEO has a home office he doesn’t get a deduction.

          Honestly I’m amazed he didn’t buy the office and lease it back to the company. That sounds like the sort of sleaze I expect from the C-suite

            I just now realized you’re referring to a personal deduction for a home office and not a corporate deduction for the home office. I see what you’re getting at now and wouldn’t be surprised if that were the case.
