What qualifies as a staycation?

I didn't go anywhere, does that qualify as a staycation?

If you are a resident of Ontario on December 31, 2022, and if you pay to stay somewhere in the province between January 1 to December 31, 2022, then you are likely to qualify for the tax credit. Ontario residents can claim 20% of their eligible 2022 accommodation expenses, for example, for a stay at a hotel, cottage, or campground, when filing their personal Income Tax and Benefit Return for 2022.

 

You can claim the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit for accommodation expenses for a leisure stay of less than a month in Ontario, at a short-term accommodation or camping accommodation, such as a:

  • hotel
  • motel
  • resort
  • lodge
  • bed-and-breakfast establishment
  • cottage
  • campground
  • vacation rental property

and Government of Ontario webpage: Ontario Staycation Tax Credit
