Employment Travel Expenses

I have to use my personal vehicle for work purposes after regular business hours. I travelled 406kms with my vehicle for work and drove 18,000kms total with my vehicle in 2017. Both figures were entered, but the refund amount doesn't change. I don't have a gas dollar amount to enter. Is there something else I have to include?

1. In order to claim employment expenses of this type, you must have a completed Form T2200, signed by your employer.

2. Vehicle expenses require receipts for the actual expenses such as gas, repairs, etc. There is no per/km amount for vehicle expenses. If you do not have these receipts, do not claim vehicle expenses.
