Workers > Employment expenses<\/h3>\n

Office expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Under the detailed method, employees can claim a deduction based on actual amounts paid for home office expenses.<\/p>\n

To be eligible for the deduction, the employee must have been working more than 50% of the time at home for at least four consecutive weeks.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7644″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1779476501349{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Generally speaking, expenditures must be prorated.<\/p>\n

For example, based on the % of space occupied by the workspace in the case of rent and insurance or on the % of use in the case of Internet or rental of equipment.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, homeowners cannot deduct interest on mortgages. The cost of a fixed telephone line cannot be claimed neither.<\/p>\n

Automobile expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n

Employees who must travel outside their place of business as part of their work may claim expenses related to the use of their automobile.<\/p>\n

Required forms<\/strong><\/p>\n

Employees must obtain from their employer the T2200 and TP-64.3 forms.<\/p>\n

Expense reimbursement by the employer<\/strong><\/p>\n

It should be noted that, both at the federal and Quebec level, reimbursement of up to $500 for the purchase of personal computer equipment or office equipment required for telework does not have to be included in the employee’s income.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button dimension=”two” corner_style=”rounded” size=”large” icon=”mk-icon-arrow-left” url=”\/en\/fiscal-and-financial-planning-guide\/”]Back[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
