Self-employed can take advantage of numerous tax breaks.
While the stress of operating your own business can sometimes be overwhelming, Canada’s self-employed workers are being encouraged to take advantage of the numerous tax cuts offered by claiming business-related expenses.
These expenses, which are usually deductible if they were used to earn further income for your business and are deemed reasonable, can include things like taking a client out for dinner – although you can only claim 50% of the bill – plane tickets and home office costs. In addition, workers are allowed to expense $1,500 on supplementary health care coverage for themselves and their spouses, and $750 for each child.
Since there are a number of rules and exceptions involved, experts are pushing self-employed workers to be familiar with all of the legitimate expenses available to them.
