I don't think you can write things off if you're considered a contract employee. I believe if you work in the company's office, they provide computers, etc, and follow their working hours you are required to be a contract employee. In this instance it is the company that pays your tax, you don't have a choice to turn down work. Essentially you are an employee for a set time.
If you are an independant contractor, you should be working outside of their facility, on your own hours, paying your own tax. In this instance the company can not dictate whether you do work for other companies, and you have the ability to turn down work.
Really need to determine which scenario it is. I think there was a thread here somewhere about someone who was an independant contractor, but worked in the company's office and the debate about who should be paying the income tax.
