If you are self employed and work out of your home and move to a new home more than 40 kilometres away, a recent Tax Court decision means that you may be able to deduct your moving expenses for Canadian income tax purposes in the same way as an employee who moves to take a new job or an employment transfer.
: Reasonable expenses for meals and entertainment incurred for the purpose of earning business income are deductible
Reasonable expenses for meals and entertainment incurred for the purpose of earning business income are deductible for Canadian income tax purposes. However, only 50 per cent of these costs are allowed as a deduction for tax purposes. The costs of restaurant gift certificates used for promotion are also subject to this limitation.
