This is a filing screen, not an expense total. Your employer certifies the employment conditions on T2200; you calculate and claim eligible amounts on T777.

The work space can qualify through the more-than-50% test over at least four consecutive weeks, or through the exclusive-use and regular-client-meeting test.
