I have incurred GST/HST taxable employment expenses (gas receipts, tools, car repairs etc.). Am I eligible for a GST rebate on these expenses? I dont have GST #

I was a subcontractor. I have gas receipts, car repairs, tools, clothing that i paid GST on when purchased. I do not have a GST number. I simply worked for a contractor. The contractor i worked under had his own GST number. Am i eligible for a GST rebate on those taxable employment expenses?

No, you cannot claim a GST Rebate on these items as a subcontractor. If you were an employee and claiming Employment Expenses on items which you used in the course of your employment, and, your employer issued you a completed and signed T2200 - Declaration of Conditions of Employment form, you could apply for the GST370 Rebate.

As a subcontractor, you should be reporting your income as "Self-Employed" income on a T2125 - Statement of Business Activities. Only GST/HST Registrants can claim Input Tax Credits (ITCs) on expenses incurred.
