A large number of Canadians have been working from home since mid-March, many for the first time. Most of us are not used to working from home for extended periods like we are now, as our employers tend to provide us with a work space to carry out our employment duties. For employees who are required or have chosen to voluntarily work from home due to this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, can a portion of home office costs be deducted for tax purposes? What are the implications for and expectations of employers? What if you are self-employed or a contractor? Will CRA change the rules this year?
This webinar will cover the current CRA rules as they relate to claiming home office expenses on 2020 personal income tax returns, deductible vs. non-deductible expenses, documentation requirements, what’s new, and what the unknowns are at this point. From employees and employers to the self-employed individual, we will cover the basics for those who may be claiming home office expenses for the first time, while also serving as a refresher and update for changes in 2020 for those who have claimed such expenses in prior years.
