I travelled 3378 kms for specialist appointment and surgeries during the last year. I also spent 7 nights in Motels and 24 meals during these trips.2 trips from Golden B.C to Kamloops B.C. and return for cataract surgery.1 trip to Kelowna for heart checkup. I also made 6 day trips from Logan Lake to Kamloops for specialist appointments.
You should do up a working paper for the sake of convenience. List each trip separately. Example below:
Golden to Kamloops = 360 km x 2 return = 720.x $0.495 = $356.40
Meals expense lunch and dinner day 1 x 2 for patient and attendant = 17.x2=34.00 x 2 = 68.00
Day 2 3 meals each person = $51.00 per day x 2 =$102.00
Letter from the doctor stating the travel is required as services are not available locally, and that an attendant is required to assist with the travel.
Receipt for accommodations = Hotel Zanzibar = 1 night $150.00
1 day back home Lunch and dinner as above for 2 persons = 68.00
$356.40 68.00 102.00 150.00 68.00 744.40 Once all your trips are listed, you can enter a total medical travel cost on the tax return. Click on deductions >medical
You would not claim meals for the Logan Lake trip. Your attendant can claim meals while waiting for you when you are hospitalized.
