If you aren’t going to use the “Business use of Home” section, then you can enter your phone expense in the box marked “How much did you pay for Telephone and Utilities on your business property?”. You can claim the safety equipment as Other Expenses.
If you took the safety courses to acquire new skills, then you can’t claim them as business expenses. However, you might still be able to claim the Tuition credit or the Canada training credit (CTC) for those courses. If you were just upgrading existing skills, then you can also put the courses in Other Expenses.
Taking CCA is optional. If it’s not benefiting you, then you can change the amount of CCA that you are taking, so you can leave use it in future years. You can do this on the “Your Vehicle Expenses Summary” page by changing the number in the “CCA For Year” box.
