You can deduct your motor vehicle expenses if you meet all of the following conditions:
- You were normally required to work away from your employer's place of business or in different places
- Under your contract of employment, you had to pay your own motor vehicle expenses. You are not considered to have paid your own motor vehicle expenses if your employer reimburses you or you refuse a reimbursement or reasonable allowance from your employer
- You did not receive a non-taxable allowance for motor vehicle expenses. Generally, an allowance is non-taxable when it is based solely on a reasonable per-kilometer rate
- You keep with your records a copy of Form T2200, Declaration of Conditions of Employment, which has been completed by your employer
Did you receive a T2200 form from your employer? If no, you should request it to your employer. Other kind of expenses can be deducted from your return as maintenance/repairs, insurance, licence/registration, etc.
Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
