Though many have returned to the office over the past few years, some Canadians are still working at least partially from home \u2013 meaning they&#8217;re likely still eligible for Work From Home tax credits.

What expenses can I claim working from home?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you\u2019ve begun working from home and are unsure about your entitlements regarding tax reliefs on the cost of working from home. Don\u2019t worry, this is a common occurrence, as many people often struggle to know their tax entitlements and what they could be owed.  The good news is that regardless of whether you work <strong>full-time or part-time<\/strong>, you could still be eligible for tax relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you can claim tends to vary and depends on the type of work that you do. For those working at home, typically a percentage of the costs related to a home office will be deductible. However, for a salesman or long haul trucker, tax relief related to travel, food and lodging may also be available to them.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common distinction the CRA makes is between full-time employees vs. those who are categorized as self-employed. According to Canadian Tax laws, both can claim a deduction for expenses listed below if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ol>\n<li>Your home is your principal place of work; or<\/li><li>You dedicate a particular room or space exclusively for earning income<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Though #2 may be more difficult, the COVID-19 pandemic has made #1 the norm for countless Canadians and, as a result, many will be able to claim tax relief on expenses incurred at their home office, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>utility bills (electricity, heat and water)<\/li><li>maintenance<\/li>\n<li>property taxes<\/li>\n<li>home insurance<\/li>\n<li>home office\/workspaces expenses (internet bills, computers, or office supplies)<\/li>\n<li>tools or tradespersons, mechanics, apprentices, and forestry workers<\/li>\n<li>license fees<\/li>\n<li>training costs (when upgrading your skills that relate to your      employment)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a commission-based employee, your list of possible employment expenses also includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>food and beverages for yourself if you are away from home<\/li><li>entertainment expenses for clients<\/li>\n<li>car expenses, travel costs and overnight stays on business trips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you should also be aware of costs that <strong>do not count<\/strong> as expenses, namely:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Mortgage interest<\/li>\n<li>Capital cost allowance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"how-to-claim\">2. Am I eligible to claim these expenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to claim work-related expenses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOUR EMPLOYER WILL NEED TO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Sign a <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/forms-publications\/publications\/t4044.html\" target=\"_blank\">Form T2200<\/a><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/forms-publications\/forms\/t2200.html\" target=\"_blank\"> (Declaration of Conditions of Employment)<\/a><\/em><\/strong>. They will need to certify in question #10 of the form that you were required to work from home more than half the time during a specific period in the year (i.e. COVID-19 pandemic).<\/li>\n<li>Provide examples of expenses you have as part of your work, as well as whether or not you received any reimbursement for them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>YOU WILL NEED TO:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Include a list of your required tools with your T2200 Form, if you work as a tradesperson or mechanic.<\/li>\n\n<li>Keep all of your relevant receipts and invoices for the eligible expenses for 6 years after the end of the tax year, in case you need them as evidence of the expenses.<\/li>\n\n<li>Work mainly from your home (i.e. more than 50% of the time) to claim these expenses according to the CRA guidelines.<\/li>\n\n<li>Have a separate workspace in your home which you use only to earn employment income.<\/li>\n\n<li>Use the workspace regularly and for a continuous period of time to meet clients, customers, or other people in the course of your work responsibilities. However, the CRA will recognize that COVID-19 impacted peoples&#8217; ability to meet in person with clients and customers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two different methods of claiming work-from-home expenses: a <strong>temporary flat rate method<\/strong> and a <strong>detailed method<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Temporary Flat Rate method allows a worker to claim a maximum of $500 when filing their 2022 and 2023 tax returns ($400 for 2020 returns). It can be claimed if the individual worked more than 50% of the time from home for a period of at least four consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Detailed method requires individuals to complete Form T777S or Form T777. You will also need to get a completed and signed<strong> <\/strong>Form T2200S or Form T2200 from your employer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE: If your employer fully reimburses you for out-of-pocket expenses related to your job, you can\u2019t claim these amounts when you file taxes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"back-at-office\">3. What if I&#8217;ve returned to the office now &#8211; can I still claim expenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes \u2013 if you worked from home during some period of this year as required by most employers during the COVID-19 pandemic,  you can legitimately claim home office expenses even if you&#8217;ve now returned to your office or workplace. You will need to prorate your expenses based on space (the percentage of your home used for work) and time (the weeks\/months you used the space for work). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"how-to-file\">4. How do I claim work from home expenses on my tax return?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as filing your annual income tax return form (T1), you must also file a&nbsp;<strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Form T777 (Statement of Employment Expenses) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/forms-publications\/forms\/t777.html\" target=\"_blank\">Form T777 (<\/a><\/strong><em><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Form T777 (Statement of Employment Expenses) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/forms-publications\/forms\/t777.html\" target=\"_blank\">Statement of Employment Expenses<\/a><\/strong><\/em><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Form T777 (Statement of Employment Expenses) (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/revenue-agency\/services\/forms-publications\/forms\/t777.html\" target=\"_blank\">)<\/a><\/strong>.
