Pay more taxes to work from home, says Deutsche Bank Business

These employees will save money on travel, lunch and socializing, economists said, while contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy.

“This is a big problem for the economy as it has taken decades and centuries to build the broader business and economic infrastructure that supports face-to-face work,” the report said.

The idea is that employers would pay the tax if they don’t provide an office for staff, whereas if the worker chooses to work from home, it will be taxed every day that they do so.

In the United States, policy makers argue that the tax could pay a subsidy of $ 1,500 to the 29 million workers who earn less than $ 30,000 a year and are unable to work from home.
