Company refuses to sign a T2200 form

The question is how much (by percentage) is your cell phone used for personal use and how much is used for communicating with your company?

A very quick perusal of the Canadian rules makes me think it needs to be over 20% business to be eligible, not to mention worthwhile of your time and effort.

I also wonder if signing this form might confuse your employment relationship with your carrier - I think if you are an IC, signing that form would indicate you are an employee and open them up to a whole can of problems.

Talk to a cpa, and they can get you sorted, but for a $300 deduction I wouldn't worry about it.

Depends on your tax rate
But in the US , a $1,400 expense deduction would save you about $260 on taxes

Not even a dollar a day, so definitely not worth making a big deal out of with the company if you’re making good money and being treated with respect by the dispatchers.

That's a good point. Having good relationship with others is more important. I guess I just don't understand why my company so firm on not giving that form. I heard that many companies give allowance/subsidy/reimbursement on cell phone usage, if not, signing a tax form won't cost them anything so why won't they do such favor for their employees.
