Troubleshooting

As per CRA:

You can deduct a part of a basic cell phone service plan if all of the following conditions are met: 

  • the cost of the plan is reasonable
  •  the minutes or data were used for employment purposes
  •  the cost of the plan has been divided between employment use and personal use on a reasonable basis

You cannot deduct amounts paid to connect or license the cell phone.

Most employees cannot deduct the costs to buy or lease a cell phone. However, commissioned employees may be able to deduct the cost to lease a cell phone as long as the costs related to earning commission income.
