Well, the original question of "What is an expense or outlay in T5008?" was answered back in 2019.
If you are asking about how to report your outlays & expenses, if you don't want or can't enter them on your T5008, then you can enter your expenses in the Investment Expenses section. Use the “Find” tool 🔍 to search for “invest”. Select “Investment Expenses” from the list and then click the “Go” button.
