Tax write-offs aren’t only for consultants or businesses. As a T4 salaried employee, there are certain circumstances where you can write off various business expenses.
Especially with many working from home, office supplies (such as chairs, printers, etc.) may be eligible. In addition, if you have your spouse or family member helping with some admin tasks, you may be able to claim this assistance on your tax return.
But, as with anything, there are nuanced rules surrounding what is and isn’t eligible. For instance, you can NOT write off travel to/from your office.
