We often meet with new clients who have recently moved and were unaware that there is a simple, easy deduction. Provided you moved at least 40km closer to your work place, the fees associated with that move are deductible.

They include the obvious things, such as U Haul expenses, gas, hotel and other travel costs, as well as some that are less obvious, like realtor commissions, the cost of maintaining your old home before it sells or the land transfer tax from your new home.

There’s even a ‘simplified’ claim – you don’t need any receipts but you can claim up to $0.50/km for gas expenses, as well as $17/meal per person, while on the road and during the first 15 days in your new location…

 So even a student moving home for work can claim their move back from an out of province university. - For more information, please visit the following website: Travel Costs
