Tax write offs for local drivers

Don't forget to figure in the exchange rate

What does this statement mean. You can claim the part of your phone you use for ''business'' but not if the company reimburses you for that part.
And if that is added to your income, that's a different concept.

 

If your stateside, make sure you use us funds. Go to the bank of canada site, you can get the yearly average exchange rate for the states. I use that for my us trips. They expect you to eat one meal at home on the day your home.

 

I have used Turbo Tax for the last 5 years. Works well and it allows the TL2 claims.

 

If you are a local company driver you cannot claim anything. Just like any other working stiff. Long haul has a stated amount that you can use. No receipts needed.

 

Where do you go to in a day?

 

Cbsa is correct. The other drivers don’t qualify for meal deductions and you don’t either.

 

That's for long haul drivers. Different rules for short haul. Short haul can claim 50%.

 

Your right. I quoted the wrong part.
