Self employed expenses billed directly to client

I am self employed, although 95% of my work is for one client.

I bill some expenses directly to my client, e.g. some website licences and travel expenses. These are included in my monthly invoice as a separate expense on top of my hourly rate.

How do I handle these for tax? Do I claim them as expenses, or do I just minus the expenditures from my invoice amount and report the total income (not including the expenses) and ignore them?

Even though your income comes from one client, you are operating two separate lines of business. This means you'll have a separate T2125 for each type of business.

Once you open the T2125, it will walk you through each section, where you can apply these expenditures, as well as income earned for each.

Please make sure you keep all your receipts and invoices for everything you are claiming in case the CRA requests for the information later.
