Calculating floor area of your house

Rudi asks:
(updated on Tuesday, September 04th 2007)

Hi, what is the total floor area? Does it include bathroom and kitchen, or is it only a summary of all bedrooms plus lounge. We try to figure out what we have to divide our office area by for tax purposes.

Our Experts Answer:

I am assuming you are asking this question in relation to calculating your home office expenses. The total floor area refers to the total floor area of your house which includes all rooms in the house regardless of what they are used for.
