Useful Information

Meals and Entertainment
You cannot claim the whole amount you spend on Meals and Entertainment. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) allows only 50% to be claimed as an expense. That also applies to the GST.

Long-haul truck drivers are allowed 65% for 2008 with the allowance increasing by 5% per year until it reaches 80% in 2011.

Mileage Allowance
2008:
52¢ per km for 1st 5,000 km
46¢ per km above 5,000 km
2007:
50¢ per km for 1st 5,000 km
44¢ per km above 5,000 km

Conventions
As an attendee, not a participant, you are restricted to two (2) conventions that relate to your business, per year. Expenses for more than two are not allowed.

Expenses
If you’re not sure if something is a valid expense, think back to when you worked for someone else’s company. Would you have been able to submit an expense claim for the purchase? If you’re still not sure, keep the receipt, mark it with a “?” and discuss it with your bookkeeper.

Records
You must keep your records for at least 7 years. That’s not just your manual or computerized journal entries, but all the receipts and paper backup.
