If you have a T4A and income is reported on Box 20 or 48, it is considered self-employment. Box 20 is used exclusively to report self-employment commissions earned as a contractor or a freelancer. Box 48 is used to report self-employment income that is not commission-based.
If you are Self-Employed you can claim under expenses when filling out T2125. Use the t2125 form to report either business or professional income and expenses. This form combines the two previous forms, T2124, Statement of Business Activities, and T2032, Statement of Professional Activities.
