You are considered self-employed, and you can deduct the business-related expenses associated with your work.

If you use it exclusively for your business, you can deduct all of the expenses related to that vehicle.

Vehicle-related business expenses you can claim on your tax return include:

  • gas
  • insurance
  • repair costs
  • parking fees

If you use your vehicle for both business and personal use, you can deduct a percentage of those costs based on how often you use your car for business. For example, if you drive your vehicle 25,000 kilometers in a tax year and 5,000 of those kilometers are for business purposes, you can deduct 20% of your vehicle expenses from your self-employment income.
