Thanks for clearing that up. I had a question closely related: As a self employed actor/performer, filling out the T2125 I am question deductions - I am claiming agents fees, I am wondering if I can claim the "non-union work permit" which is significant? And then if I did claim this, would the amount of deductions be too much? ... as I read elsewhere that the amount may have to be less than 20% (as below):
If you meet the requirements for employed artists, you’re able to deduct the lesser of these three amounts:
- The expenses you actually paid for the year in 2018
- $1,000
- 20% of your employment income from artistic activities
